Gather @eggplant{3}, @sunflower oil{80%ml} and @tomato{2}.

Char the eggplants over open flame or a ripping grill until collapsed and blackened all around. ~{20%minutes}

Peel away the blackened skin while the eggplants are still warm, keeping every bit of the smoky flesh.

Drain the flesh 30 minutes in a tilted colander to shed excess liquid. ~{30%minutes}

Chop the drained flesh fine, then beat in the oil gradually with a wooden spoon until pale and fluffy.

Fold in the minced @onion{0.5} and @lemon{0.5} juice; taste and adjust the lemon.

Serve with the sliced tomatoes and crusty bread.
