Set colander over bowl. Trim top and bottom off each eggplant and slit eggplants lengthwise. Using scoop hot poulp into colander (you should have about 2 cups pulp); discard skins. Let pulp drain for 3 minutes.
Transfer drained eggplant to food processor. Add tahini, oil, lemon juice, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pulse mixture into coarse puree, about 8 pulses. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
