Remove the eggplant from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes.

Peel the charred skin off the eggplant and discard it.

Place the eggplant flesh in a food processor.

Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and cumin to the food processor.

Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
