Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 475Ā°F. Arrange the whole eggplants on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake, turning with tongs once or twice, until the eggplants have completely collapsed, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove and let cool. When cool enough to handle, remove the stems and slip off the peels.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the garlic and sautƩ over low heat until golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Combine the eggplant pulp, garlic, tahini, and lemon juice in a food processor. Process until the mixture is a slightly chunky puree (if you donāt have a food processor, you can finely chop the eggplant by hand, transfer to a serving container, and stir in the remaining ingredients). Transfer to a serving container, season with salt and pepper, and serve at room temperature.
