-
Wash 1 large aubergine and cut it into slices about 1 cm thick.
-
Place the slices in a colander and sprinkle with coarse salt, then leave them for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture and bitterness.
-
Rinse and pat the aubergine slices dry with paper towels.
-
Brush the aubergine slices with oil and bake at 200°C for 20 minutes. Flip them over about two thirds of the way through.
-
In the meantime, wash 1 red bell pepper and hold it directly over a high open flame on the stovetop using a pair of tongs. Rotate it frequently until the skin is charred. This should take around 5 minutes.
Alternatively, throw the pepper in with the aubergine, but the smokiness of the flavour won't be as pronounced.
-
Slide the charred skin off the bell pepper and cut it roughly into pieces. Then, using a food processor or immersion blender blend it into a sauce. Add fine sea salt and black pepper (freshly ground) to taste.
-
Place 200 g yogurt under a bell jar or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Fill it with smoke using a smoking gun and leave the yogurt to rest for a few minutes.
-
Remove the aubergine from the oven. Spread the yogurt on a plate, layer a dollop of bell pepper sauce on top, and arrange the slices. Garnish with peanuts (chopped) and parsley leaves.
