- For the yoghurt sauce: Place all the ingredients in a bowl, season and mix well.2 cups greek yoghurt, 0.5 cup mint leaves, 1 tsp honey, pinch lemon zest
- To serve, top each eggplant round with a good dollop of the yoghurt sauce. Garnish with mint, toasted pine nuts and a drizzle of raspberry vinegar or sprinkling of pomegranate seeds.

Notes
I usually use pomegranate seeds as they are amazing in this recipe, but they are hard to find when not in season, so I’ve substituted with a drizzle of raspberry vinegar. This can be found in good quality produce stores.
