Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 large 1 1/2-pound eggplant
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup 2-percent Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon dried mint
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

Stripe the eggplant with a vegetable peeler and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Sprinkle the eggplant slices generously with salt, place in a colander and let sit 30 minutes. Rinse the eggplant under cold water and pat thoroughly dry.
Meanwhile, combine the olive oil and garlic in a small glass cup, and microwave just until the oil is hot and bubbling, about 20 seconds. Whisk together the yogurt, mint, cumin, cayenne, 2 tablespoons water and salt to taste in a small bowl.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare an outdoor grill for medium-heat cooking. Brush the eggplant slices on both sides with the oil and garlic mixture. Grill until the eggplant is browned and tender, moving and turning the slices frequently, about 15 minutes. Drizzle the mint sauce onto the eggplant slices.
