You can currently find me on under a little hut on the shores of Hikkaduwa beach (South West Sri Lanka), my feet are sandy and i’m sipping warm ginger tea while Rob is out for his morning surf. Now was the perfect time to share this recipe with you, while it is not very Sri Lankan – it is delicious! one of those meals that are quick and easy for when you are hungry but not quite ready for a full meal.
I created this recipe with my friend Crystal over at Honestly Crystal This recipe is a take on Ottolenghi’s beautiful eggplant dish. He uses a buttermilk dressing on his but we changed it up with a Natural Greek Yoghurt, tahini, lemon and roasted sweet garlic dressing. This is done best with small eggplants, it is so simple to make and is the most delicious side to any meal!
