Moutabal is a smokey Middle Eastern dip that is made with brinjals. Make for your next meze spread,
Ingredients
- 2 brinjals
- ¼ clove garlic
- 3 T olive oil
- 3 T plain yoghurt
- salt, to taste
- oregano leaves, toasted pine nuts or pomegranate rubies, to garnish
Cooking Instructions
1. Roast the brinjals directly over the flame of a gas burner until blackened and very soft. Alternatively, cook on the braai or under a hot grill.
2. Allow to cool slightly, then gently scrape off the charred bits but do not wash too thoroughly otherwise you will lose the smoky flavour.
