Prick the eggplant in several places with a fork, place it on a baking sheet , and broil in a preheated broiler for about 20 min, turning the vegetable several times so which the skin chars on all sides. Let the eggplant cold.
When the eggplant is cold sufficient to handle, cut it in half and scrape out the flesh into a bowl, throw away the skin, and mash the eggplant with the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. Cover the mix and chill it.
Before serving, sprinkle the spread with the oil, if you like, and chopped parsley, and serve it with pita, fresh or possibly toasted, or possibly as a dip for fresh vegetables.
