Beet Mutabbal

Cultural Context

Originating from Lebanon, Beet Mutabbal is a vibrant twist on the traditional baba ghanoush, using roasted beets instead of eggplant. This dish is celebrated for its earthy flavor and striking color, often served as a dip or spread. In modern cuisine, variations abound, with some adding spices or nuts, making it a popular choice in mezze platters worldwide.
