Ingredients

1 eggplant (about 1 pound)

1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 large garlic clove, mashed (this can be adjusted based on your love for garlic- I add three)

2 tablespoons well-stirred tahini

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about half of a big lemon

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Preheat broiler or prepare grill. Prick eggplant in several places with a fork

Broil or grill about 3 to 4 inches from heat turning every10 minutes or so, until eggplant is charred all over and very soft. This should take about 45 minutes

Put eggplant in a bowl to cool and collect juices

When eggplant is cooled enough to touch (it is hot in the middle!) peel and discard skin.

Transfer pulp to a blender, food processor, or food mill.

Add all remaingin ingredients except for parsley and puree until very smooth, with no visible eggplant seeds scraping down sides with a rubber spatula as necessary.

Transfer to serving bowl and sprinkle with parsley.

Serve with fresh pita bread or pita chips (I love Stacy's Pita Chips)
