Char the eggplant on the open flame, right on the gas stove or open flame on the grill.
Start with high heat and lower it to medium, so that the eggplant will be cooked through and soft. Turn it from side to side occasionally when it cooks.
Peel the eggplant and put it in the fine mash strainer.
Let the water from the eggplant drain for a few minutes.
Put the eggplant in the mixing bowl.
Mix in crushed garlic, tahini paste, lemon juice and salt.
Try it and adjust the seasoning.
Serve it with a bit of good quality olive oil on top or with out. Enjoy!
