Spiced Roasted Aubergine Wedges With Coriander & Mint Yogurt Dressing

When the sun is shining, I can’t get enough of aubergine salads, drizzled with EVOO then sprinkled with a baharat spice blend and roasted in the oven until all caramelised and charred on the outside with the insides still so soft and meaty.  YUM! Have you ever tried baharat spice?  It typically contains black pepper, coriander, paprika, cardamom, nutmeg, cumin, cloves, and cinnamon, although there are variations…  trust me… it will be a new staple in your larder once you give it a try. It goes beautifully with all meats, fish and vegetables.
