Another Levantine snack. Healthy and easy using the Eggplant also known as aubergine or brinjal depending of where you are from and what varieties that is available in your country of abode.
In this dish, I am using the eggplant/aubergine which is fuller & has less of an aftertaste as compared to the Asian brinjal.
Method & majority of ingredients used are as in my Hummus recipe.
