Besides hummus, which eggplant dish is listed as using tahini?

The story behind the answer

Besides hummus, baba ghanoush is an eggplant dish commonly made with tahini.

Baba ghanoush is a Levantine appetizer built around roasted, baked, or broiled eggplant. The cooked flesh is mixed with tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and seasonings, producing a smoky dip or meze that is often served with pita bread. Tahini contributes a nutty, sesame-rich flavor and a creamy texture.

The dish is sometimes spelled baba ganoush or baba ghanouj. Recipes vary across the Middle East, and the boundary between baba ghanoush and mutabbal is not consistent everywhere. In some culinary descriptions, mutabbal is the tahini-heavy eggplant dip, while baba ghanoush may contain other additions or may not always include tahini.

That variation does not make the quiz answer unfair: among the listed choices, baba ghanoush is the recognized eggplant preparation associated with tahini. Kibbeh, fattoush, and tabbouleh are different dishes with different principal ingredients.
