Pierce the eggplants in several places with a fork.
Char the eggplants over a flame or roast them in a 220°C oven for 35 minutes.
Place the charred eggplants in a covered bowl for 10 minutes, then peel them.
Drain the eggplant flesh in a sieve for 15 minutes.
Blend the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt until smooth.
Crush the eggplant with a knife and fold it into the tahini mixture.
Serve with parsley, olive oil, and warm pita.
💡 Tip: Draining the eggplant prevents the dip from turning watery and concentrates the smoky flavor.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with olive oil, parsley, and warm pita triangles.
