In this Italian-language cooking video, Orazio Vagnozzi of Orazio Food Experience demonstrates a gourmet summer recipe for roasted eggplant served with a Greek‑yogurt, lemon‑zest and herb sauce. He begins by listing high‑quality ingredients—eggplants, thick Greek yogurt, ricotta salata, Taggiasca olives, toasted almond slivers, fresh basil, mint, parsley, lemon, extra‑virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. He explains the preparation: trim the green tops, halve the eggplants, score the flesh about 1 cm deep without cutting through the skin, salt to draw out moisture, then brush generously with polyphenol‑rich extra‑virgin olive oil. The eggplants are placed on a parchment‑lined tray and roasted in a static oven at 220 °C for roughly 35 minutes until the surface turns golden‑brown and slightly caramelised, which creates a creamy interior. While the eggplants roast, he toasts almond halves in a hot pan, monitoring to avoid burning, and prepares the yogurt sauce by mixing Greek yogurt with lemon zest (only the yellow part), lemon juice, salt and pepper. After roasting, he assembles the dish using the eggplant skin as an edible bowl, adding dollops of the yogurt sauce, chopped olives, a herb mix (hand‑torn basil, parsley, mint), shards of ricotta salata, and toasted almond slivers, finishing with a grind of pepper. He notes the texture is spoon‑soft and can be scooped out for pasta or other uses. For wine, he recommends crisp, acidic Italian whites such as Fiano, Vermentino, Sauvignon del Collio, or Grillo, as well as a Negroamaro rosé or a light sparkling wine made with the Charmant method. The video ends with a call to like, subscribe, and join his weekly newsletter (orazio.substack.com) for more food, restaurant, and wine content.
