The Eggplant

Roasted garlic eggplant with yogurt dip. Is there anything better than garlicky roasted eggplant in the summer? I personally love eggplant, it’s one of my favourite vegetables which seems to be most difficult to make for a lot of people. If you are one of those people that doesn’t know what to do with eggplant, you’ve come to the right place. Beautifully caramelized, sweet, and so easy to make. This grilled eggplant recipe can be used for spreads, or enjoyed on its own with refreshing yogurt dips. This is a very typical way of cooking in Bulgaria and it’s one of my favourite ways to use eggplant. Back home we absolutely love it with a dill instead of basil but you are more than welcome to use any herb you love. It is perfect to make on the grill or in the oven which is my preferred method.
