Meatless Monday is here 😊
Today we wanna try different tastes and textures so I’ve prepared a mezze meal. The newest recipes are moutabal and fattoush salad ✨
Moutabal
2 eggplants
1 tbsp tahini
½ lemon, juice
2 garlic cloves, grated
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp sumac
Salt & pepper to taste
Fattoush
2 medium tomatoes, cubed
2 medium cucumbers, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 handful parsley, finely chopped
½ bunch of mint, finely chopped
2 pieces Lebanese flatbread, cut into small pieces, fried (cook in oil for 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp and golden)
Dressing
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juice
2 tsp sumac
Salt & pepper, to taste
Roasted red pepper hummus – see the recipe on my blog
Fattoush
In a bowl mix the oil, lemon juice, sumac and salt & pepper.
Place tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, parsley and mint in a large bowl. Sprinkle with sumac, then drizzle with dressing and toss to combine.
Moutabal
Roast the eggplants directly on a gas stove until the skin turns black and the flesh is softened.
Allow it to cool, then peel the skin off.
In a food processor puree the eggplant, then add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt & pepper and mix well.
Garnish with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle the sumac.
Enjoy!
