Salata Aswad be Zabadi (Eggplant Dip)

Sudanese eggplant dip is called salata aswad be zabadi. It is a wonderful little dip that makes a lovely appetizer. It has an odd pairing of ingredients with tomatoes, peanut butter, eggplant and lemon juice among other things that end up blending together beautifully. The dip gets its creaminess from yogurt. Actually, these ingredients and flavors are quite common in African cuisine.
