I'm an American spending some time in Dubai and have been quite perplexed on the moutabal vs. baba ghanoush issue. You cleared it up quite nicely for me, thank you! Looking forward to poking around your archives.

I grew up in Saudi Arabia and now, seven years later, I really miss the chunky eggplant dip. If only I'd had the sense to get recipes for these things before I had to move. I *might* try this recipe, but I'd have to call it moutabal :)Ashleyhttp://www.theseareyummies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-2199483039497601902009-05-07T14:02:00.000-05:002009-05-07T14:02:00.000-05:00Thanks so much for your recipe!

As a child, I would order both because the consistency and flavors vary. Baba Ghanoush would be a chunky eggplant salad studded with tomatoes and peppers, but Moutabel is the more pureed eggplant and tahini dip. I find it so interesting how Middle Eastern cuisine varies from country to countryMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16716649272142655164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-29919421212151135402009-01-29T10:44:00.000-05:002009-01-29T10:44:00.000-05:00Great.

Mercedes, I sometimes like to add a little laban to the tahini when mashing it all together. You should also try making moutabal kousa - zucchini moutabal. It is delicious. Same exact method you used, just replace eggplant with zucchini. The arabic zucchini that's a light green, not the more widely used dark green one here in the US. Also, try adding pomegranate seeds with the flesh on as a garnish. I miss the Middle East!!<BR/>xo DaliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-82175799985128443092009-01-22T07:32:00.000-05:002009-01-22T07:32:00.000-05:00delicious! have you tried it with a little pomegr...delicious! have you tried it with a little pomegranate juice and a dab of pomegranate molasses?
