Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Preheat your grill or oven to a high temperature. Slice the eggplants in half lengthwise and score the flesh in a crisscross pattern. Brush the cut side with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Char the Eggplant

    Place the eggplants cut side down on the grill or on a baking sheet if using the oven. Grill for about 10-15 minutes or until the flesh is tender and charred. In the oven, roast for about 20-25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Curry Aioli

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and curry powder. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the eggplant is cooked, remove it from the grill or oven. Spread a generous layer of labneh on top of each eggplant half. Drizzle with pomegranate molasses and sprinkle with dukkah and fresh mint leaves.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm alongside the curry aioli for dipping.
