Choose an eggplant with a green stem, tight skin, and shine.

Prick the eggplant with about 10 holes to let steam escape.

Place the eggplant on a grill tray or directly on the stove to char it.

Cook the eggplant on low heat, turning every 3-4 minutes until soft, about 10-12 minutes.

Once soft, remove the eggplant and place it in a glass bowl, covering it to steam for 10 minutes.

After steaming, cut the eggplant in half and scoop out the flesh, avoiding the skin.

Place the scooped eggplant flesh in the fridge for about 30 minutes to cool down.

Chop the cooled eggplant flesh into finer pieces.

Mix in tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and salt.

Drizzle with olive oil and finish with a sprinkle of sumac.
