🇲🇦 Morocco recipe

Zaalouk

A beloved Moroccan cooked salad where smoky roasted eggplant is mashed together with ripe tomatoes and a heady blend of garlic, cumin, and paprika. Served warm or at room temperature with crusty bread, zaalouk is a staple of the Moroccan table and appears as part of the traditional spread of small salads served at the start of every meal.
