Varieties of appetizers in Jordan

When you sit down to a meal in Jordan, your first dish will be a wonderful combination of sauces and salads with freshly baked bread. You will learn about some of the Middle Eastern favorites, such as: hummus, falafel, tabbouleh and fattoush. But there will also be some Jordanian-themed dishes. This might include mutabbal, which consists mainly of grilled eggplant and tahini, which is often confused with baba ghanoush, but mutabbal is richer and more creamy.
