Motabal is a creamy and flavorful Middle Eastern dip originating from Levantine cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Lebanon and Syria. Made primarily from roasted and blended eggplant, its smooth texture and smoky flavor are enhanced with tahini (sesame seed paste), fresh lemon juice, garlic, and salt, often topped with olive oil. Packed with nutrients, Motabal is a rich source of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like K and B from eggplant. Tahini provides healthy fats and minerals, while olive oil adds heart-friendly monounsaturated fats. The dip is typically served with pita bread or vegetables, making it a wholesome, plant-based option. However, its calorie content can increase depending on the olive oil used, so portion control is key for those monitoring fat intake. Motabal is perfect for adding a nutritious, authentic Middle Eastern touch to your meal.
