  2. Once eggplant has cooled, cut it in half lengthways. Using a large spoon, scoop out the flesh onto a chopping board. Roughly chop then transfer to a mixing bowl.

  3. To the mixing bowl, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, tahini, cumin, 1 tablespoon of the garlic-infused oil and salt and pepper. Mash into eggplant until well combined.

  4. To serve, spoon dip into a serving bowl. Drizzle with remaining garlic-infused oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped fresh herbs.
