About Mtabal
Mtabal, also known as baba ghanoush, is a creamy Middle Eastern dip made primarily from roasted eggplant, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Originating from Levantine cuisine, it is popular across the region as a flavorful appetizer or side dish. Eggplant, the star ingredient, is packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, while tahini provides heart-healthy fats and protein. Olive oil adds additional healthy fats, and garlic contributes immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. The dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and calories, making it a nutritious option for a balanced diet. However, its calorie content can rise depending on the amount of tahini and olive oil added. Mtabal is often served with fresh vegetables or pita bread, offering a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy traditional flavors.
