3 eggplants
4 fluid ounces virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
4 fluid ounces fresh lemon juice
6 garlic cloves
7 ounces tahini
4 fluid ounces virgin olive oil

1. Cut the eggplants in half and score the cut surface of each half from edge to edge in a crosshatch pattern approximately 1/2 inch (1.2 centimeters) deep.

2. Brush the cut surfaces with 2 fluid ounces (60 milliliters) of olive oil, season with salt and pepper and place cut side down on a sheet pan. Roast in a 350°F (180°C) oven until very soft, approximately 45 minutes.

3. Cool the eggplants and scoop out the flesh. Purée the flesh in a food processor with the lemon juice, garlic, tahini, salt and pepper. Add the remaining olive oil and blend in. Adjust the seasonings. Serve in a bowl, drizzled with additional olive oil, if desired, and accompanied by pita bread or crudités.
