mutabbal
Mutabbal is a popular Middle Eastern dip made primarily from roasted eggplants, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. It has a creamy texture and a smoky flavor, which comes from the roasting process. Often served as an appetizer, it is typically enjoyed with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
This dish is similar to baba ghanoush, another eggplant-based dip, but mutabbal usually contains more tahini, giving it a richer taste. It is a staple in many Mediterranean and Arab cuisines, celebrated for its delicious flavor and nutritious ingredients.
