Roast the eggplant over a direct flame or under a grill, until dark on the outside and cooked inside. Alternatively, roast the eggplant in a pre-heated oven at 200 °C, for about 30 minutes, until it begins to shrink. Cut open and scoop out the flesh leaving behind the skin. Chop fine or blend in a blender. Mix in the garlic, salt, lemon juice, onion, tomato, pepper, parsley and sesame seeds.
