Zaalouk Moroccan Eggplant

Chef Sammy
Eggplant has got to me one of my favorite vegetables and I especially love this Moroccan version of it. Moroccan food has such a depth of flavor to it. I love all the warm spices and the balance of spice and sweet. I served the Zaalouk with a sweet pepper infused coucous and let me tell you guys, I did not miss my meat! Zaalouk tastws incredible with a nice Moroccan bread.
