3 T. tahini
Juice of 2 lemons
Salt to taste

2 T. water or more
olive oil (optional)

Directions:
There are several ways to prepare the eggplant. The best way is cook it over a charcoal fire (after you've made your burgers) until done. Other ways include roasting over a gas flame, turning with with tongs until done or on in the oven. To cook it in the over, prick it all over with a fork and turn it from time to time until it is done.

Whichever method you use, let the completely cooked eggplant cool and then cut it open and scrape out all the cooked eggplant into a bowl. Mash with a fork, food mill, processor, or Vitamix until smooth.

Make a paste of the garlic and salt. Add it, along with all the other ingredients and mix well. Adjust the seasonings. Garnish with the oil and parsley, if using.

Personal Notes:
If you take advantage of cooling charcoal to cook the eggplant, you can freeze it, after it has been peeled, for future use. It's really great to have a supply of this smokey-flavored eggplant on hand.
