Preheat the oven to 425°F. Use a fork to poke holes all over the eggplants and place on a baking sheet.
When the oven has preheated bake the eggplant for 40 minutes or until soft and slightly charred.
Remove the eggplants from the oven and place in a bowl. Cover the bowl and let sit for 15 minutes (this steams the eggplant and helps loosen the skin).
Cut the ends off the eggplants and discard. Peel the skin off the eggplants and discard. Place the eggplant in a food processor along with the garlic, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Blend until smooth then transfer to a serving bowl.
Stir in the olive oil and season with salt & pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the fresh parsley and top with the olives. Serve with pita.
