Method

  • step 1

    Heat grill to very hot. Slice the aubergines in half lengthways, then grill for 25 mins, turning occasionally, until soft – the skin will remain firm, but the flesh will soften. Lift the aubergines off the grill and leave until cool enough to handle.

  • step 2

    Using a sharp knife, score the grilled flesh and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Tip into a bowl and mash with a fork until you get a thick pulp. Beat in the lemon juice and garlic. Add the yogurt and dill, and season. Serve while still warm.

Loved this, but admit I made a few changes, in that I grilled the aubergine whole under the oven grill. Forgot to pick up a lemon so used a splash of apple vinegar, had mint instead of dill. Put it all on top of a baked sweet potato (instead of butter or sour cream) - Delicious. Will definitely do…
