Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. If you have a charcoal or other type of grill, or a fireplace, light a fire in plenty of time to have hot coals by the time you're ready to roast the eggplants. Otherwise, preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Using a fork, prick the eggplant at least an inch deep in a dozen places. (This is important. I once had a large unpricked eggplant explode in my oven; the cleanup took days.)
  3. Set the eggplant on a grill about 8 inches above the coals, or place on a rack in the preheated oven. Roast the eggplant on the grill for about 20 minutes, turning frequently, until the outside is black and charred and the inside is tender all the way through. In the oven, it will take 40 minutes and should also be turned frequently.
  4. At the same time, roast and peel the chilies. Trim them of seeds and white membranes. Any juices from the chilies should be kept to add to the eggplant puree. Slice one of the chilies into narrow strips and set aside. Chop the other one roughly.
  5. When the eggplant is cool enough to handle, strip away and discard the dark skin and mash the flesh with a potato masher or an immersion blender, gradually mixing in the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and any juices from the chilies.
  6. Combine the garlic and salt in a mortar and pound to a paste. Add the chopped chilies to the mortar and crush with the paste. (You may use a blender or food processor for this step if you wish, but don't put the eggplant into the blender; the texture is much better when it's done by hand.) Fold the chili-garlic mixture into the eggplant. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the chili strips, like the spokes of a wheel.
  7. Melitzanasalata could also be served as a side dish with meat, especially lamb, in which case it will make 4 to 6 servings.
