Ingredients
- 2 eggplant 3 lb of eggplant, large
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 tbsp parsley chopped, fresh
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the whole eggplants on it. Bake the eggplants for about 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is fork-tender.
- Remove the eggplants from the oven and allow them to cool. Peel the skin off and scrape out most of the large clumps of seeds inside. Chop/mash up the flesh into small pieces.
- Place the eggplant flesh into a sieve over a bowl and allow the excess liquid to drain. Meanwhile, prep all the other ingredients and add them to a small bowl.
- Once the excess liquid has drained, add the eggplant to the bowl and toss everything together with a fork. Serve and enjoy!
