Grilled Eggplant and Greens with Turmeric

2 large bunches of hardy greens (kale or swiss chard work best)
¾ tsp ground turmeric
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup fresh mint
¾ cup plain yogurt
¼ tsp garam masala or curry powder
lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions:
- Slice eggplant crosswise in ½ inch thick steaks and toss in a bowl with turmeric, salt and pepper and 2tbsp olive oil. Toss greens with 2 tbsp oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill eggplant on medium-high heat, turning often until lightly charred, 5-10 minutes.
- Grill greens, turning often, 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board and remove ribs and stems, tear remaining leaves into pieces.
