Mutabbal (Eggplant Tahini Dip)

Mutabbal is a creamy, flavorful Middle Eastern dish made from roasted eggplant, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice. The eggplant is cooked until tender, then blended into a soft, smooth consistency with nutty tahini, creating a rich base. Garlic and lemon add zest and freshness. Often served with olive oil and herbs, Mutabbal is a staple in mezze platters. It differs from Baba Ganoush, which has a chunkier texture and a more complex flavor profile with additional ingredients like tomatoes and walnuts. Mutabbal focuses on a simpler blend, highlighting the smooth harmony of eggplant and tahini.
