Friends, I’ve been dreaming of this dish for so long and it’s finally here (after much toil and experimentation).
Whenever we travel abroad, I always try to order eggplant dishes because I love seeing how other cultures prepare eggplant. I try to study the spice mixtures and cooking methods to see how they create such delicate, perfectly seasoned dishes.
This recipe is a hearty stew inspired by the flavors of a Moroccan dish called zaalouk – which is a warm salad of cooked eggplant and tomato.
