Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium eggplants, (about 1 pound each)
1/4 cup olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 medium cucumber, seeded, coarsely grated, and squeezed of excess moisture
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high. Halve eggplants lengthwise; slice off enough from skin side so halves lay flat. Brush both sides of eggplant halves with oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Grill until tender, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cucumber, yogurt, parsley, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve sauce with grilled eggplant and lemon wedges, if desired.
