1. 1Step 1: Place the whole eggplant over an open flame (e.g., outdoor grill, BBQ, or gas stove burner) on medium-high heat. Cook for 18-20 minutes, rotating every few minutes for even cooking. Alternatively, pierce the skin with a fork and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 50 minutes until completely cooked.
2. 2Step 2: Once tender and charred, remove from heat and place the eggplant in a colander to cool until handleable and to drain excess liquid. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon, separating it from the charred skin.
3. 3Step 3: Add the eggplant flesh, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and dried mint to a food processor. Blend until creamy. Serve in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and your favorite garnishes.
