When I've made Baba ganoush I just whack the full aubergine on to the gas hob and burn the fuck out of the skin (so it smokes into the flesh). Turn it with tongs until it's burnt all the way around. Once the structure collapses take it off the heat, let it cool then skin it.
Pull apart the flesh with a fork, add lemon, a little tahini, olive oil then season.

Makes a mess but your hob needs cleaning anyway.
