👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or grill/broil eggplants until skin is charred and flesh is very soft; this usually takes 30-45 minutes.
2. Once cooked, let the eggplants cool slightly, then scoop out the soft flesh into a bowl, discarding the skin and any excess liquid.
3. Mash the eggplant flesh with a fork or process briefly in a food processor for a smoother consistency; be careful not to over-process.
4. Add tahini, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the mashed eggplant; mix well until thoroughly combined and creamy.
5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then transfer to a serving bowl.
6. Garnish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and fresh chopped parsley before serving with warm pita bread or fresh vegetables.
