Pierce the skin of and Roast two eggplants on a the grill, or bake in the oven at 350, until they are soft through and collapsed (on the grill they get a nice smoky flavor)

In a food processor combine:

1/4c tahini (sesame seed butter)
juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
4-6 cloves garlic, minced

Process to a smooth puree.

Scoop the flesh out of the eggplant skins (when they have cooled enough to handle) and ad to food processor. Puree til smooth and blended.

Feed 1/4c good quality olive oil through the processor tube as processor is going, puree til smooth.

Serve with cut up veggies, pita bread, whole grain crackers. Yummy
