Directions:
- Place the eggplants under the broiler and cook for 20-30 minutes, turning frequently, until the skins have blistered and charred and the flesh is soft. (Alternatively, if you have a gas range, you can do this over the flame of your stove, but be aware that after they soften, the eggplants will start to leak juice.)
- When cool enough to handle, cut them in half and scoop the pulp out into a sieve.
- Allow to drain for 20 minutes to remove the bitter juice.
- With the side of a broad knife, crush the garlic together with the salt, and chop and mince to form a paste. (Or, pound together with a mortar and pestle.)
- Transfer the garlic paste to a large bowl. Add the eggplant and mash until fairly smooth.
- Add more salt, if desired, and the cumin.
- Gradually add the tahini, alternating with drops of lemon juice, and blending after each addition. The exact quantities are very much a matter of personal taste, and sometimes I leave the tahini out altogether.
- Chill at least an hour.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
