Moroccan Zaalouk (Cooked Eggplant and Tomato Salad)
Dishes featuring eggplants and tomatoes are very common in the cuisines of Northern Africa, Southern Europe, and the Middle East, where these ingredients are mixed with local produce and spices to become wonderful cold and hot salads. Better known eggplant dishes such as baba ghanoush or moutabel are a beautiful example of what these types of dishes can be. Moroccan zaalouk is no exception to the quality and bold flavors one can achieve when using simple ingredients in the right proportions. This cooked salad is made with eggplant, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and spices and served as a side dish to many meals but is usually presented, as in this case, as a dip alongside crusty bread (optional).
Serves 4-6 ppl.
