2 medium eggplants
juice of 2 lemons
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup tahini (more or less to taste)
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pierce eggplants a couple of times and place on a baking sheet. Roast at 400F for 40 minutes to an hour, until they're really soft and wrinkly. Cool 10-15 minutes, until you can handle them. Cut in half and scoop the flesh into a container (along with any juice that drips out). Blend with remaining ingredients until smooth. Chill.
SO good. The smoked paprika really makes it.
