What is Roasted eggplant muhammara?
Roasted eggplant muhammara is a variation on muhammara, a Levantine spread traditionally associated with Aleppo. Roasted eggplant joins walnuts, olive oil and often roasted pepper and spices, giving the dip a smoky, savoury flavour with a gently sweet, tangy edge. It is thick and spoonable, or soft enough to spread on bread.
Serve it as part of a mezze spread, with flatbread, crackers or raw vegetables, or alongside grilled foods. Its walnuts and vegetables make it a plant-based spread with a notable amount of fibre: 100 g provides 5.8 g. For a lighter snack, use a modest amount of bread and pair it with cucumber or other crisp vegetables.
