What makes it zaalouk

  • Aubergine and tomato, cooked until they collapse.
  • Garlic, cumin and paprika, with coriander and parsley.
  • Olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon, at the end.

Where it comes from

One of the cooked salads that start a Moroccan meal, several at once, scooped up with bread. The aubergine is often charred or steamed first, then stewed with tomato until soft enough to crush with a fork.
