About Mouttabbal

Mouttabbal is a creamy, flavorful dip rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly originating from Levantine countries. Made primarily from roasted eggplant blended with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, this dish is celebrated for its smoky and tangy taste. Eggplant serves as a nutrient-rich base, offering dietary fiber, vitamins B and K, and antioxidants like nasunin, which may support cognitive health. Tahini adds heart-healthy fats, while lemon juice provides vitamin C and a refreshing zest. Olive oil, a staple in Mediterranean diets, contributes monounsaturated fats, promoting cardiovascular health. Mouttabbal is typically low in calories and carbohydrates, making it a favorable option in balanced diets. However, moderation is important, as tahini and olive oil are calorie-dense. Pair it with fresh vegetables or whole-grain bread for a wholesome snack that's both satisfying and nourishing.
