METHOD
Preheat a ridged grill plate or barbecue.
Slice each eggplant into about 6 rounds 1-1½ cm thick. Brush both sides with oil and place on the hot grill. Season and cook until tender but not falling apart. Set aside to cool.

Sauce: Put the yoghurt and garlic in a bowl and whisk in the tahini and lemon juice to taste. Season and stir in the coriander.
