Roast the eggplants in a 200°C oven for 25 minutes.
Slice the onions thinly and fry them in 2 spoonfuls of olive oil for 12 minutes.
Peel the roasted eggplants and leave them in a sieve for 5 minutes.
Turn the garlic in half the remaining olive oil for 1 minute.
Mash together the eggplant, garlic, salt, black pepper, and strained yogurt.
Warm the dried mint in the remaining oil for 1 minute.
Garnish the meze with onions, walnuts, and mint oil, and serve with lavash.
💡 Tip: Do not add yogurt while the eggplant is very hot; a warm mixture preserves the tang and lowers the risk of splitting.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kashk bademjan on a meze plate with warm lavash, walnuts, and optional mint olive oil.
