Aubergine with pomegranate and yogurt sauce

So good! This Ottolenghi recipe from Plenty (my favourite cookbook I've had for years) called for buttermilk as well as yoghurt, but as they are similar and I had none in the fridge, I just went with yoghurt. Also featuring is za'atar - which is very hard to get decent stuff here in NZ unfortunately.
Looks devine

i remember making my own za'atar , 2 tbsp sesame seeds toasted and cooled, 2 tbsp dried thyme, (i dried my own thyme and marjoram and mixed together) with 1tbsp sumac. whizzed until fine and combined in spice grinder .

@kali66 you are so industrious. I was spoilt when I got some amazing Palastinian za'atar from Ottolenghi London - and i've not been able to find anything that comes close. I believe that combo was native Palestinian thyme plus the sumac etc. I could try as likewise i do have Sumac in the pantry.

@phil_howcroft thanks Phil - it was a little rushed - but i liked the rustic feel
@dkbarnett - it really was - definitely will be making again before summers end
@christinav - i love this type of food

Sometimes its best not to know what you are missing! haha
i think my sumac was a bit old! but i made it and had fresh sourdough bread dipped in olive oil and za'atar for an afternoon snack.
