SERVING SIZE:

2 – 4 people

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 eggplants, thinly sliced
• 2 zucchinis, thinly sliced lengthways
• 1/4 cup Cobram Estate Robust EVOO
• 1/3 cup Coles tahini
• 1/3 cup Jalna Greek yoghurt
• 2 tsp honey
• 1 clove garlic, grated
• 1 Tbsp ground cumin
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp Coles sumac
• 1/4 cup pinenuts, toasted
• 1/4 cup picked coriander leaves

METHOD:

• Lay out eggplant and zucchini slices onto a clean towel. Sprinkle with salt and allow and set aside for 5-10 minutes to draw moisture out. Pat dry with paper towel.
• In a bowl, combine the tahini, yoghurt, honey, garlic, cumin and zest and lemon juice and whisk together until smooth. Adjust seasoning if required.
• Heat a BBQ grill or heavy based pan on a medium-high heat. Drizzle the eggplant and zucchini with olive oil and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Lay out onto a serving platter and season with a sprinkling of salt. Drizzle over the tahini-yoghurt dressing, sprinkling of sumac, pinenuts and coriander leaves. Serve warm as a side.
