Method

  1. Light the barbecue at least 40 mins before cooking. It’s ready when the large flames have died down, and the coals are white and ashy. Put the aubergines into a large mixing bowl with 1 crushed garlic clove and the olive oil. Season and toss together. Put the aubergine slices on the grill over direct heat and cook for 4-5 mins on each side until well marked and tender throughout.
  2. Meanwhile, put the yogurt, remaining garlic, tahini, lemon zest and juice, 3 tbsp cold water, parsley and dill into a small mixing bowl, season and whisk together until well combined.
  3. Serve the wedges over the yogurt with a scattering of the pomegranate seeds, reduced-fat salad cheese and remaining herbs.

Tip: Heat a griddle pan over a high heat and griddle for 7-8 mins on each side until charred and tender if you don’t have a barbecue.
