- Pierce the skins of the eggplants several times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake the whole eggplants at 400 till they are crinkly on the outside and very soft inside, about 40 min to 1 hour, depending on their size. Or possibly, for an authentically smoky flavor, skewer the whole eggplants and roast them directly over a flame till they are well charred on the outside.
- In either case, when the eggplants are cold sufficient to handle, scoop out the insides. Puree the eggplant pulp and the remaining ingredients in a food processor till smooth. Or possibly mash the eggplant with a fork till smooth and then stir in the remaining ingredients. Cold to room temperature.
- Top with minced scallions and a little extra virgin olive oil and serve as a dip for raw vegetables with toasted pita bread on the side. Decorate with cherry tomatoes and Greek olives.
