7 tbsp tahini
juice and rind of 3 lemons
1 tsp ground cumin
a little olive oil
paprika to finish

• Place the eggplant on a baking sheet and pop in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are wrinkly and soft.
• Cool and peel off skins and discard.
• Place in a colander and over the sink squeeze out the juices of the eggplant.
• Place eggplant into a food processor, add garlic and blend until chopped.
• Add tahini, lemon zest and rind and cumin and blend again until you have a soft, creamy paste.
