Eggplant Mezze is a flavorful dish rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, showcasing the versatility of eggplant as a centerpiece. Typically, roasted or grilled eggplant is paired with tangy tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and aromatic spices like cumin or paprika, creating a creamy and smoky spread or dip. Occasionally, it includes fresh herbs, pomegranate seeds, or yogurt for added depth. Rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like vitamin B6 and potassium, eggplant contributes to heart health and aids digestion. Olive oil further provides healthy fats that support cholesterol balance and brain function. However, the calorie content may increase with excessive oils or toppings. Often served alongside pita bread or fresh vegetables, Eggplant Mezze is a nutrient-dense option ideal for light, plant-based grazing or as part of a larger meal.
