Select Microwave, set the time and temperature for 12 minutes on High (10P), and press Start. Eggplants will be soft. Let cool slightly.
2. When the eggplants are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, discarding the skin. Put eggplant flesh into a large bowl and mash well with a fork. Stir in the garlic, salt and cumin. Stir in the lemon juice and tahini and then the olive oil. Finally, stir in the parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste. Allow baba ganoush to cool to room temperature and reserve.
