Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Once roasted, remove the aubergines from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

While the aubergines are cooling, finely chop the fresh parsley.

Peel the roasted aubergines and place the flesh in a large bowl. Discard the skins.
Step 7
Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves (minced), olive oil, salt, and ground cumin to the aubergine flesh.
Step 8
Mash or blend the mixture with a fork or immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.

Transfer the mutabal to a serving dish and drizzle with a little more olive oil.
