Ingredients:

* 4 medium eggplants
* 1 or 2 garlic cloves salt
* Fresh mint chopped
* Olive oil
* Tahini (optional)

Method

Cut the eggplants in half.Sprinkle some salt on them, and let them rest for a while (this will help get rid of the bitter taste they have.If any dark liquid appears in the surface, rinse it, that’s what tasted bitter). Put them in the oven (with peel and all) until they are well cooked (depending on the eggplant size, from 20 to 30 minutes).Let them cool, peel them off, put the eggplant in the blender, adding salt, garlic, and mint (that can be replaced by any other herb if desired).Add only a little bit of olive oil. If desired, add tahini, too. Blend it, and accompany with pita bread.
