Pierce the eggplants with a fork.
Char the eggplants over a flame or roast at 220°C for 30 to 35 minutes.
Peel them and drain the flesh in a sieve for 10 minutes.
Chop the eggplant flesh with a knife, leaving a smoky, slightly chunky texture.
Mix the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin.
Add the eggplant to the tahini mixture and stir smoothly with half the olive oil.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top and finish with parsley.
💡 Tip: Draining the eggplant flesh makes the dip dense and silky instead of watery.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve at room temperature with pita, raw vegetables, and olive oil mezze.
