Ingredients:

1 kilo eggplant, grilled over a gas flame 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 tablespoons tahini 2 tablespoons yogurt Salt, to taste 1/4 teaspoon citric acid Note: Lemon juice can be used, but citric acid helps keep the mutabbal white in color The meat: 1/4 cup vegetable oil 300 grams finely minced meat Salt, to taste 1 onion, finely chopped 1/2 green sweet pepper, diced 1/2 red sweet pepper, diced 1 tomato, diced 1 teaspoon tomato paste 1/2 teaspoon seven-spice blend 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon paprika Fried nuts, as desired Olive oil for topping

Method:

Grill the eggplants over the gas flame, turning them on all sides until cooked through Slice each eggplant lengthwise with a knife Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into a bowl and let it cool Mash the eggplant until smooth using a garlic pestle Add the crushed garlic, tahini, yogurt, salt, and citric acid, then mix well In a pan, heat the oil and cook the meat with the salt until it changes color Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, then add the diced sweet pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
