Mix with other vegetables if you want
Grill a bunch of grape tomatoes and mix them in with the eggplant.
Eggplant Kebabs
- 1 eggplant cut into 1″ thick slices
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh mint minced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- Buttermilk
- Salt/pepper
Salt the eggplant slices and let sit for 30 minutes. Press out as much water as possible from eggplant and cut into cubes. Mix yogurt, mint, garlic and oregano together. Add enough buttermilk to make a thick batter. Season with salt and pepper and mix in eggplant. Let marinate for 30 minutes. Place eggplant on kebabs and grill until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Mix with grilled tomatoes and serve over toasted bread or grit cakes.
Delicious! I really love eggplant and always looking for new ways to enjoy it.
Yogurt, mint, oregano. Now that’s Greek!
Very good dish. Did you know they’re called eggplants because they were originally white and round like eggs. We have them on the stalls here every year, which is how I found out.
No I didn’t. I figured Americans just couldn’t pronounce aubergine, ha.
Looks lovely! And I’m fascinated at the use of buttermilk to thicken it up too. Tricks I’m learning indeed….
Delicious!

That looks wonderful!
I love eggplant and enjoy trying new things with it. This sounds like a very interesting and new way..
I love grilled eggplant, this sound like a wonderful side dish.
What an interesting way to prepare the eggplant with the yogurt batter. I have noticed that you have been using yogurt in several of your recipes…very healthy.
Thanks for noticing! We do love Greek yogurt.
Next time we have lamb, this will go with it! Sounds absolutely wonderful!
Eggcellent – they sound delicious!
Ooo … look at the charr marks on the eggplant! What a really cool recipe.
Oh yes, please… I have terrible luck cooking eggplant (no idea why, because I do love it!) but I will try this. Anything Greek-ish makes me happy! Mmmm…
That eggplant is calling me. I haven’t had eggplant in so darn long. I love this Greg
Great dish and presentation.
Great use of eggplant. And yogurt. And everything.
i was going to use one word- delicious but then the word that really strikes me when I look at this is beautiful!
Delightful! Look at the beautiful color in that eggplant.
We’re grilling eggplants and tomatoes tomorrow night! I’m going to have to remember this one for next time – Mike would love it.
My daughter loves anything Greek.. these would be a hit here in our home!
I could just imagine the smell of that while grilling, one of my favourite smells
The Greek yogurt sounds delicious with the eggplant.
Eggplant is one of those vegetables that I absolutely LOVE, but I feel like I don’t really know what to do with it. I should try this and branch out —–
Yum, that looks great! I visited Greece several years ago and this brings back memories. I’ll be trying this recipe over the weekend, as soon as the eggplant in my garden are ready to be picked!
Delicious vegetarian dish ! I’m with billpeeler with the eggplant thing I will have to try this one out.
