This is a dish I never looked twice at, I would always skip over it until I finally gave it a chance and now I constantly seek it out. This dip is known as Mutabal or Babaganoush depending on what part of the Middle East you’re from. It’s a roasted eggplant dip mixed with lots of lemon juice, tahini, and a bit of yogurt. You always see it alongside hummus and to be honest, I never liked it from restaurants. But when we started making it and home, it quickly became my favorite over hummus or muhammara and I hope with this recipe it will do the same for you!
