Palestinian Smoky Eggplant Dip (Mutabbal) | Sahtein!

Mutabbal: A gorgeous, smoky, garlicky eggplant dip that is sure to satisfy your dignified guests. This is a fun one to make in the summer on the grill or fire, or if you're in the city like me, pretend you are in the woods and do it on your gas stove. Once you get the hang of it, this cooking method is easy and so much fun. Can be vegan if you don't add yogurt!
This video was shot in summer 2020. Many more videos to come in 2022! Thanks for your patience this last year. It's been a crazy one - but we're ready for action now! What should I make next?
Cheers - xx N

I love how you always mention vegan options in the recipe. Love to feel included.

[@NadiaGilbert]

always try to make it as accessible as possible! I appreciate the love.

[@samuelcohen2215]

Hello Nadia! Thank you for this video! My wife and I prepared it last night. The preparation was easy and went exactly as you said it would.. Even though your ingredient amount recommendations are a bit unconventional, we quickly understood that there is flexibility in the amounts used. We tasted it last night but we intend to feast on it today. I think a night of tempering in the refrigerator improves this kind of dish by allowing the flavors to meld.This was our first effort at making a Palestinian dish. It will not be our last!

[@edprotas4148]

Learning about food from other cultures is such a beautiful thing. Thank you so much!

[@abbyborgmann1179]

This is AMAZING!!!! I could eat it by itself with a spoon!! Made it for the first time tonight & even bought pomegranate molasses to drizzle. I never cared for eggplant until I tried this. Thank you!!

[@Ok-cb5lw]

[@stillwatersnightsky6533]

[@phillipec9720]

So glad your back. I WAS MISSING YOU and your gorgeous recipes ❤. Can't wait to hear more of your favourite Palestinian ones

[@lumailisa]

Have you ever tried cutting into chunks and putting in air fryer? It comes out incredibly smoky and delicious. Also, doesn't need much input, very easy. I do this also for salads. Thank you for the recipe ❤

[@NsShadid]

I made this to my friends. Everyone was wowed by it. Pretty good considering being a dude who can only cook 3 receipts. This is my fourth now. You are amazing Nadia. صحتين وعافية And thank you so much.

[@lindalou7344]

We miss seeing your videos so I’m rewatching older ones too!🤗

[@NsShadid]

Good to see you again. Hope all is good at your end. Thanks for the mtabal recipe

[@UtaRefs0n]

I'm glad you are back too! I make Yasma's Salad every week!

[@locutia7]

Yay! As a vegan, I would leave out the yogurt. Roasting the eggplant on the stove, I hadn't thought of that. Glad you are back.😀

[@usmanfaraz2057]

Nice to see you back sis

[@anyaroz8619]

Long time no see. So great to get a notification with Nadia Gilbert!

[@nessazee]

Definitely making this dip. Such a simple but tasty way to enjoy eggplant! My new year’s resolution is to explore more middle eastern recipes as its not an area of cuisine I’ve cooked much for myself.

[@ventiristretto4885]

Seeing notification from your channel made me so happy! Missed your energy!

[@camaradapedro]

Love the result and waiting for a 2022 full of new videos

I usually have really good success growing eggplant in my garden and I'm going to try this next year when they start coming in

[@khubza8999]

I am SOOOOO GLAD that you are back!!!! I'm making yout spinach pies for New Year's 2022 . No one describes the living power of dough like you do :-)))))

[@karenmatzke]

Oh yum! I wish I had a gas stove so bad! Will need to experiment with my camping stove ;) One recipe I'd love to see a vegan version of is Fatteh hummus. I used to live in Beirut and that was one of my favourite meals.

[@janettefantini8997]

Hi habeebti, when I make babaghannouj I peel the eggplants in a bowl full of cold water, you keep the flavour and it’s quite quick, I learned it from my mom!

[@nkhirdaji]

My beautiful little cousin! I missed you + your recipes! xo

[@amalk9750]

Wow it’s been forever since I’ve seen a post from you. Glad ur back.

[@liltrench5862]

I was just thinking last night that you hadn't posted a video lately and now here is a vid 😀 I love baba ganoush so I can't wait to try this!

[@NadiaGilbert]

Let me know how it goes :)

[@saraahmed632]

I love your videos. I was really looking forward to a new upload!

[@jrondholz]

So glad to see you posting a new video. I have a recipe request: Mulukhiya. My grandmother used to make it for us growing up. We called it the “green stuff” 😉. it was our favorite. My grandmother passed many years ago and I wish I learned how to make it. Anyway, Hope you have a very happy new year ahead.

[@NadiaGilbert]

This is maybe my all time favorite tabeekh. Very very special to me. I will definitely make a video of how I make mine. 🙏🏽Allah Yirhamha. ❤️

[@K4HLER]

Delicious dish.

[@jodrew1845]

I like your version but just an fyi, I've used cashew yogurt, which works very much the same as dairy yogurt. I'm on plant based/vegan diet.

[@andyabbott5472]

Glad to see you back.

[@NadiaGilbert]

glad to be back!!

[@navarodriguez6274]

thanks for the video, I look forward to your post!

[@sharonkimchi]

Some tips from my own experience: 1. Keep the eggplant whole, the steam created cooks the inner part efficiently (just don't forget to rotate frequently otherwise it may explode...) 2. Use a fork to mash, I like keeping the eggplant threads as a final texture. For garlic I just add zhugg

[@NadiaGilbert]

zhugg is great if you want it super spicy!! or shatta/homemade chilli paste (I have a recipe up for this)

[@kman6716]

I love the paste,I actually made it last night with the additional pomegranate paste.We all licked our plates.Delicious 😋😋😋

[@amipost]

Waiting long time for the new video. Wish you a Happy & HEALTHY New Year.

[@NadiaGilbert]

the same to you :)

Glad to see you again! Tell me, do you have any fish recipes up your sleeve? Your Fatteh is just perfect as a side dish for fish kofta - I do am eating it at least once a week... pretty obvious why I'm looking for some other ways of preparing fish, isn't it;)

Good to know. Ironically I get the dip from a Russian market. The magic of the dip is it has a lot of garlic but is not bitter at all.

[@NadiaGilbert]

I am positive there must be a Russian version of a dip like this too!!

Happy Holidays! What’s a good way to smoke the eggplant if no gas stove or bbq? 😬 will prob just get a mini bbq lol

[@NadiaGilbert]

You can also just cut it in half lengthwise and slow roast the eggplant in the oven and cover it - and then quickly broil it at the end! Broiler can be a friend :) Grill is king to be honest, when I have access to a grill I always do it that way

[@ravitejachinta9511]

Haiiiiiiii nadia ❤️. I love you

[@jornalistarenatarosa4205]

is it the same as babaganoush?I only miss the lemon juice to bring acidity to the dip

[@NadiaGilbert]

No it's different :)
