Garlicky Moutabal
Moutabal is sometimes called Baba Ganoush. Although both dishes use roasted eggplant as a base, Baba Ganoush can also have other added vegetables, such as tomatoes and onions. Moutabal, on the other hand, is just eggplant. Clear plastic containers of hummus and Moutabal were everywhere in Saudi Arabia, even in our high school cafeteria.
