Zaalouk
Morocco
One of the mezze salads served at the start of every Moroccan meal. Simple but endlessly satisfying.
Moroccan cooked aubergine salad — fire-roasted aubergine mashed with tomato, garlic, cumin and olive oil. A standard presence at every Moroccan meal.

Chef's Tip
Leave some texture — zaalouk should be rough and rustic, not a smooth purée.
