Grilled aubergines with yogurt & herb dressing

Angela Hartnett says: "This recipe is dedicated to my friends Pat and Ben. They moved into a house around the corner from us and, as we were old friends, we said we’d throw a party to welcome them. I cooked everything for it except one thing that my husband Neil made – Pat’s aubergine dish. And everyone at the party kept talking about the aubergines and not a word was said about any of my many delicious dishes! These also work really well on a barbecue."
