Step 2: Let the eggplants cool down slightly and remove the skin.
Step 3: Discard the stems, make a few cuts and put the eggplant in a colander so that the juices run out, for about 10 mins.
Step 4: Add the eggplants, tahini, garlic cloves, olive oil, salt, chilli flakes, lemon juice (depending on your taste).
If you don’t have tahini, just blend toasted sesame seeds with some olive oil.
