    1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Place eggplants on a baking tray and prick with a fork in several places. Roast eggplants for 40-50 minutes, until they’re collapsing and very soft with the skins blistering. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

    2 When eggplant is cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and discard. Place eggplant flesh in a blender or processor. Add all other ingredients.

    3 Blend until mixture is smooth but still has some texture. Add more lemon juice if needed.

    Serving suggestion

    Serve with pita bread or chips and vegetable crudités.
