Babaganoush

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Put the whole eggplant (stem and all!) into the oven on a parchment-lined tray and roast for about an hour, or until they are soft all the way through.
3. When they have cool down, remove the skins, chop the flesh coarsely, and place in a food processor. Add lemon juice, tahini (or yogurt), garlic, and salt to taste, and puree.
4. Stir in the parsley and spread into a shallow serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
