Ingredients
  

  • 2 Eggplants
  • 2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Cup Greek Yogurt
  • .5 Lemon
  • 1 pinch Salt And Pepper
  • 4 Strands Dill
  • 2 Garlic Cloves

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Eggplant: Wash the eggplant thoroughly and pat dry with a towel. Slice the eggplant into halves lengthwise.
  • Season the Eggplant: Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil. Season each slice with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Grill the Eggplant: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the eggplant slices on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the eggplant is tender and has nice grill marks.
  • Prepare the Dip: In a medium bowl, add Greek yogurt. Mince the garlic cloves finely and add to the yogurt. Chop the dill finely and add it to the bowl. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients until you have a smooth, creamy dip.
  • Cool Eggplant: Once cooked, remove eggplant from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.

Notes

  • Salt the Eggplant Before Grilling: Salt the eggplant slices before grilling to draw out excess moisture and reduce bitterness. After slicing, sprinkle both sides with salt, let sit for 15-30 minutes, then rinse and pat dry.
  • Use Medium-High Heat and Watch Closely: Use medium-high heat and watch closely. Grill eggplant for 4-5 minutes per side until tender with grill marks, flipping gently with tongs to avoid burning.
  • Brush with Oil Generously: Brush with oil generously to prevent sticking and ensure tenderness. Coat both sides of the slices with olive oil for a golden-brown exterior and soft interior.
