Mark Bittman's Grilled Eggplant Salad With Yogurt image

This dish is a creamy and mild eggplant salad made with a quick dressing of yogurt and seasonings. You can grill the eggplant half an hour before you serve the salad, or a half a day (or longer) ahead; it doesn't matter much at all.

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound eggplants, preferably small light purple ones
1 medium onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup plain whole milk yogurt
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pinch cayenne or Aleppo pepper or other mild ground chili powder
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or mint

Steps:

  • Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill or broiler; rack should be no more than 4 inches from heat source. Cut eggplants in half lengthwise up to stem, but do not cut through. Spread about 2/3 of the onion and garlic between the eggplant halves and press the two sides back together.
  • Grill eggplants, turning once or twice, until they are blackened and collapsed, 10 to 15 minutes. Do not worry if skin burns a bit. Meanwhile, mix remaining garlic and onion with yogurt; season to taste with salt, pepper and a little cayenne.
  • When cooked, let eggplants cool a bit, then peel off skins and let cool further. Roughly chop eggplants, then mix with yogurt dressing. Serve at room temperature or chill if you like; in either case, garnish with parsley or mint

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled eggplant. It's also a healthy and flavorful side dish. I would recommend adding some chopped walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.
