Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice adjust to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Pierce the eggplants with a fork and roast them over an open flame or bake in the oven until the skin is charred and the inside is very soft. This process gives the Mutabal its signature smoky flavor.
  • Once cooled, peel the eggplants and mash the flesh or chop it finely for a more textured dip.
  • Combine the eggplant with tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until well blended. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
  • Transfer the Mutabal to a serving dish, make a well in the center, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with parsley.

Notes

A serving is a quarter of the recipe.
