<\/div>\n

Eggplant caviars and eggplant salads are quite popular throughout the Middle East, North Africa and certain European countries. Among the most popular, \u00ab Baba Ghanoush \u00bb or \u00ab Moutabel \u00bb  orignally from levantine cuisine, In Greece and Cyprus \u00ab melitzanosalata \u00bb, \u00ab ajvar \u00bb from the Balkan, Georgian \u00ab badrijnis khizilala \u00bb and \u00ab zaalouk \u00bb the Moroccan version prepared with eggplant and tomatoes with Chermoula  spices : garlic, cumin, paprika, parsley, coriander and plenty of olive oil.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooked salads are a big part of a Moroccan everyday cooking, you\u2019ll rarely see a main course served without at least one salad. And \u00ab Zaalouk \u00bb is the common side dish for to many meals like grilled meat, or tagines ( with meat or fish). The most popular is made from eggplant, but there are several versions \u00ab cauliflower zaalouk \u00bb or \u00ab carrot zaalouk \u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are to many ways to make this recipe, it often differs from region to region or from a family to another, some people add grilled and diced red peppers. But the main difference is how to the eggplant is prepared : fried, roasted, grilled, boiled or just cut into pieces with or without skin and added to the rest of the ingredients. For the recipe I\u2019m sharing with you today, I broiled the eggplant over an open flame wich adds a smokiness flavor to my Zaalouk.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zaalouk is a perfect addition to a mezze table, served with moroccan bread (or pita bread) and why not served with pieces of crispy pan fried halloumi cheese. I tried it and it was amazing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it\u2019s served at room temperature it can easily be made ahead. You can also make a big quantity, and divide it into an individual portions and freeze them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free.<\/span><\/p>\n
