Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tsp sugar
20 thin jalapeno pepper slices
2 medium globe eggplants (about 2 lb)
1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
2 tsp tahini (roasted sesame seed paste)
1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 cups arugula or watercress
1/4 cup pomegranate arils
1/4 cup pecans, toasted and crushed

Directions:

Combine first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and add jalapeño; let stand 15 minutes. Drain.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Place whole eggplants on grill rack; grill 15 minutes or until charred on all sides and tender when pierced with a thin knife, turning frequently. Remove from heat; gently scrape off charred skin, if desired. Cool eggplants slightly; halve lengthwise. Lightly score flesh.
Combine yogurt, tahini, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and garlic, stirring well. Drizzle 4 teaspoons oil and lemon juice over eggplant flesh; top with yogurt mixture.
Combine arugula, remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; toss gently. Top each eggplant half with about 1/2 cup arugula, 5 jalapeño slices, 1 tablespoon pomegranate arils, and 1 tablespoon pecans.
