Yogurt Marinated Grilled Eggplant

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash the eggplants and cut them into 1/2 inch thick slices.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

3. 3

   Coat the eggplant slices with the marinade, ensuring both sides are well covered. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for better flavor, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

4. 4

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.

5. 5

   Place the marinated eggplant slices on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

6. 6

   While the eggplant is grilling, wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

7. 7

   Once the eggplant is done, let it cool slightly before serving on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves. Optionally, you can drizzle a little extra yogurt on top before serving.
