<\/div>\n

Aubergine or eggplant caviars are very popular in the Middle East, North Africa and some European countries. Among the most popular Baba Ghanoush and moutabel from the Levant, Greece and Cyprus \u201cmelitzanosalata\u201d, \u201cajvar\u201d from the Balkans and \u201czaalouk\u201d the Moroccan version prepared with aubergine \/ eggplant, tomatoes and Chermoula spices: garlic, cumin, paprika, parsley, coriander and lots of olive oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooked salads are an integral part of Moroccan cuisine, you will rarely see a main dish served on its own. Aubergine \/ eggplant zaalouk is the most popular (at least for me) to accompany certain dishes such as grilled meats or tagines. The most popular is based on eggplant, but there are several versions: \u201cCauliflower Zaalouk\u201d or even \u201cCarrot Zaalouk\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are several ways to make this recipe, it often differs from one region to another or from one family to another, some people add roasted and diced red peppers. But the main difference lies in the cooking of the aubergine \/ eggplant: fried, roasted, grilled to get the smoked flavour, I showed you how to make it HERE \u201c smoked aubergine \/ eggplant Moroccan zaalouk \u201c<\/a>, boiled or simply cut into pieces with or without skin and added to the rest of the ingredients. The latter is the simplest and above all the quickest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zaalouk is perfect on a mezze table, served with Moroccan bread (or pita bread) and why not with slices of pan-fried halloumi cheese. I tried it and it was delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zaalouk is served at room temperature or cold. It can therefore easily be prepared in advance, as you can also prepare a large quantity, divide it into individual portions and freeze them.<\/p>\n
