Serves 2-4
INGREDIENTS
2 eggplants, cut in half lengthways
oil
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
2 teaspoons sea salt
3 sprigs thyme, stalks removed
To Serve
1⁄2 recipe Lemon Yoghurt (see below)
pomegranate seeds
dukkah
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place the eggplant halves on a baking tray, skin side down and score the top of the eggplant flesh with a knife. Generously drizzle over the oil and pomegranate molasses, then rub all over the eggplant. Sprinkle over the sea salt and thyme leaves. Place in the oven to cook for 35 minutes.
Once the eggplant has cooked and cooled slightly, evenly dollop the Lemon Yoghurt between the eggplant halves. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and dukkah.
Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
