Ingredients

Steps

Char the whole eggplants over a flame or under a broiler, turning, 25 minutes until collapsed and blackened.
Cool, then scoop the flesh into a colander and drain 15 minutes.
Mash with the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt — keep it a little rough.
Spread on a plate, pool the olive oil on top, and finish with parsley and sumac.

Draining is what keeps it from turning watery.
