Step 1
Preheat your broiler or grill to high. Prick the 1 large eggplant with a fork and place it on a baking sheet. Broil for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh is very soft.
Step 2
Let the eggplant cool for 5 minutes, then peel off the charred skin. Place the flesh in a colander and press gently to remove excess liquid.
Step 3
In a bowl, mash the eggplant with a fork. Add the 0.5 cup yogurt, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp of the olive oil, and 0.5 tsp salt. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Step 4
Transfer the moutabal to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with the 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves.
Step 5
Serve with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
