- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup lemon juice (depending on taste)
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons olive oil

Place eggplant flesh in a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mash together. You can also use a food processor instead of by hand. Pulse for about 2 minutes.
Place in serving bowl and top with lemon juice and olive oil. Add other garnishes according to taste.
