1
Prepare the Eggplant
Preheat your grill or oven to high heat. Slice the eggplants lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides of the slices with California olive oil, and sprinkle them with salt and black pepper.

2
Char the Eggplant
Place the eggplant slices on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the eggplant is tender and has nice char marks. Remove from heat and set aside.

3
Make the Yogurt Sauce
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

4
Serve the Dish
On a serving platter, arrange the charred eggplant slices. Drizzle with additional California olive oil if desired, and serve with the yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
