Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick rounds and brush both sides with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill the Eggplant

    Place the 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. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Lemon Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, tahini, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, place the grilled eggplant slices on top of the flat bread. Drizzle with lemon vinaigrette, pomegranate molasses, and sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh thyme on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, allowing guests to enjoy the contrasting flavors of the grilled eggplant and the tangy lemon dressing.
