About Mutabal

Mutabal is a traditional Levantine dish, cherished for its rich flavor and creamy texture. It is made primarily from roasted eggplant, tahini (sesame paste), garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and sometimes yogurt, blended into a smooth dip. Originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, Mutabal is often served as part of a mezze platter alongside flatbreads, vegetables, or other dips like hummus. This dish is packed with nutrients, as eggplant is a source of dietary fiber and antioxidants, which support digestion and overall health. Tahini provides healthy fats, plant-based protein, and essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while lemon juice lends a boost of vitamin C. However, its calorie content can be high depending on the amount of oil and tahini used, so portion control is key for those monitoring their fat intake. Mutabal is a flavorful, wholesome choice in moderation.
