• peel the melanzane like a zebra
• depending on size, cut them in half or quarter
• brush them with olive oil all over
• bake them in a pre heated oven, 200˚ for about 20 minutes

• for the sauce:
• drain some plain yogurt through a muslin ( let it drain for one hour or more)
• crush a garlic and mix it through the drained yogurt
• add salt, pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
