Ingredients

  

  • 4 medium eggplants
  • 1 or 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon(s) salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon(s) Fresh mint chopped, as much as desired
  • 1/2 tablespoon(s) olive oil, as much as desired
  • 1 tablespoon(s) tahini, as much as desired

Instructions

 

  • Cut the eggplants in half.
  • Sprinkle some salt on them, and let them rest for a while (this will help get rid of the bitter taste they have.
  • If any dark liquid appears in the surface, rinse it, that’s what tasted bitter).
  • Put them in the oven (with peel and all) until they are well cooked (depending on the eggplant size, from 20 to 30 minutes).
  • Let them cool, peel them off and put the eggplant in the blender, adding salt, garlic, and mint.
  • Add only a little bit of olive oil.
  • Add tahini, and then blend it, and accompany with pita bread.
