What is mutabal? Smoky aubergine dip vs baba ganoush

How mutabal differs, why fire roasting matters, and how we plate it.

Mutabal is a smoky aubergine dip with tahini, garlic and lemon, sometimes with a little yoghurt. Fire roasting the aubergine is what gives the signature flavour.

Mutabal vs baba ganoush

Names and recipes vary by family and region. Ours is creamy, smoky and built for pitta, a staple cold starter at Dahhan's.
