Ingredients:

Serving

1 eggplant (about 1 lb)
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 large garlic clove, mashed (this can be adjusted based on your love for garlic- i add three)
2 tbsp well-stirred tahini
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions:

Preheat broiler or prepare grill. Prick eggplant in several places with a fork
Broil or grill about 3 to 4 inches from heat turning every10 minutes or so, until eggplant is charred all over and very soft. This should take about 45 minutes
Put eggplant in a bowl to cool and collect juices
When eggplant is cooled enough to touch (it is hot in the middle!) peel and discard skin.
Transfer pulp to a blender, food processor, or food mill.
Add all remaingin ingredients except for parsley and puree until very smooth, with no visible eggplant seeds scraping down sides with a rubber spatula as necessary.
Transfer to serving bowl and sprinkle with parsley.
Serve with fresh pita bread or pita chips (I love Stacy's Pita Chips)
