Eggplant caviar or Moutabal

Caviar d'aubergine

Je crois que le caviar d’aubergine est mon mézzé préféré derrière lhoumous ou peut-être bien qu’ils arrivent à égalitéEn tout cas c’est le mézzé préféré de Monsieur (et comme j’adore lui faire plaisir), et bien on en mange très souvent en été. En plus ma Maman m’a gentiment donné de bonnes aubergines du jardin… !

Le caviar d’aubergine est un mézzé aussi appelé Salate H’atsilim enIsrael ou Moutabal au Liban (un peu de culture ne fait pas de mal de temps en temps !!!). A recipe that allows you to accommodate eggplant in a simple and light way since it cooks without oil, interesting no…?! I feel you're starting to hang on !

So what do we do with the last eggplants ?!!!

Caviar d'aubergine

Eggplant caviar or Moutabal

Ingredients (pour 4)

  • 3-4 small eggplants
  • 3 tablespoons of tahini / tahini / tahineh (or sesame puree)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • The juice of a lemon
  • 1 filet d’huile d’olive
  • 1 c. to s. labane or buttermilk
  • 1/2 c. at c. cumin powder
  • You sell

Description

Preheat the oven to 200°.

Wash and prick the aubergines on all sides with a fork and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.

let them cool, peel them, holding them by their stem and remove the seeds. Keep only the flesh. Yes yes it is a bit tedious but the result is really better without the grains !

Then mix together the eggplant flesh with the garlic, tahini, lemon juice, le cumin, and last, a drizzle of olive oil and salt.

Moutabal

Serve chilled with Arabic bread or pitas.

      So you will tell me but removing the grains has a lot to do with it but here I also used white eggplant with lighter flesh !

    Very nice photo, also one of my favorites. It is also called "Baba Ghanouche" and part of the skin can be kept (environ 5-10% total skin) it gives a delicious smoky taste any bonus for those who like. Thank you for everything you share with us!
