Aubergine with Buttermilk Sauce

Very delicous, a great midweek supper, but just a little too simple for 5 stars. We didn't have any pomegranate seeds - visually this made a huge (though not really important) difference, flavourwise probably too. We didn't use any buttermilk either but just made our own yoghurt-concoction - don't use more than a small garlic clove (or use more yoghurt), as otherwise the garlic will overpower everything.

A note aside: This dish seems to be the cover dish of the American edition of Plenty.
