Instructions

Place whole eggplants on tray. Poke each eggplant three times with a fork to break the skin. (This will ensure your eggplant doesn't explode in the oven.)
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for one hour or until the eggplant is thoroughly cooked.
Once cooked scoop out the insides of the eggplants and place in a bowl. Discard skins.
Using a potato masher, fork or similar utensil mash up eggplant until completely mashed.
Add onions, tomato, salt, garlic lemon juice, and tahini.
Stir until completely mixed with a rough consistency.
Place on a plate, garnish with chopped parsley, top with extra virgin olive oil.
