Step 1:
Pre-heat a BBQ on high, then reduce to low.
Step 2:
Cook whole eggplants on the BBQ, turning occasionally, for 45 minutes or until browned all over and tender.
Step 3:
Transfer the eggplants to a plate and cover with foil. Stand them for 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
Step 4:
Meanwhile, lay your pitas flat on a lined baking tray, drizzle with half the olive oil and place under a high grill for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden, flipping once. Set aside to cool.
Step 5:
Remove skin from eggplants and place the flesh into a food processor with yoghurt, lemon juice, tahini and garlic. Blend until the ingredients are combined, but still slightly chunky.
Step 6:
Serve in a bowl with pita bread on the side, or store the dip in an airtight jar or container and the pitas in a container or brown paper bag. Top the dip with chopped parsley and the remaining oil.
