Ingredients:
| 2 eggplants |
| 1/2 cup tahini, more for taste |
| 4 cloves garlic, minced |
| 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more as needed |
| 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
| Salt, to taste |
| 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
| 3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped |
| 1/2 cup black olives |
| Pita chips, for dipping |
Directions:
- Prick the eggplant with a fork in several places and place on a grill or over the direct flame of a gas burner. Cook, turning frequently, until the skin blackens and blisters and the flesh just begins to feel soft. Transfer the eggplant to a baking sheet and bake at 350ºF until very soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and peel off and discard the skin.
- Place the eggplant flesh in a bowl. Using a fork, mash the eggplant to a paste. Add the tahini, the garlic, the lemon juice and the cumin and mix well. Season with salt, then taste and add more tahini and/or lemon juice, if needed. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and spread with the back of a spoon to form a shallow well.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the top and sprinkle with the parsley. Place the olives around the sides. Serve at room temperature with pita bread or pita chips.
