Un-Grilled Eggplant with Savory Yogurt Sauce

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings: 2 Servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup coconut yogurt
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 clove grated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon raw honey
  • 1/2 tablespoon miso
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 long eggplant sliced in half
  • 1 medium yellow banana pepper slice in half lengthwise
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • For garnish parsley

Method
 

  1. For the yogurt sauce, combine the first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl and stir well, adding more or less liquid to create the desired consistency (start with a little less if you prefer it thick). Set aside; you want the garlic especially to settle into the yogurt base.
  2. Arrange the eggplant and pepper on the pan for the broiler. Make diagonal slices in the flesh of the eggplant to increase absorbency. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a bit of salt over both, and broil cut-side up for 5 minutes, until the eggplant flesh is browning. Turn and cook another 5 minutes, so that the skin of the eggplant and peppers have blistered and browned.
  3. When ready to serve, drizzle the vegetables with sauce and garnish with roughly chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

Enjoy on its own or atop a bed of greens & grains for a heartier meal.
