Directions
Char grill eggplants over a direct flame or roast in the oven until skin has blackened.
Set aside in a bowl covered with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle, then peel carefully.
Squeeze the flesh/pulp of the eggplants until most of the juices have been drained.
In a food processor, blend warm eggplant, with cumin, garlic, salt, tahini, liquid smoke and lemon juice until it is a smooth paste.
While still blending the eggplant mixture slowly drizzle in olive oil.
