Moroccan Zaalouk Dip is a delicious and healthy vegetarian dish that can be served as a side or appetizer. The combination of roasted eggplant, tomatoes, and spices in this dip creates a unique and delicious flavor that is hard to resist. The smoky, savory taste of the eggplant and the sweetness of the tomatoes, along with the aromatic spices, make this dip a real crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

3 T. olive oil

1 Medium eggplant, peeled and chopped

3 Medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped

2 Medium garlic cloves, minced

2 t. Paprika

1 t. Ground cumin

1/4 c. Water (if needed)

1/2 c. fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 Fresh lemon, juiced

Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1

Heat a medium-sized covered pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil, eggplant, tomatoes, garlic, paprika, and cumin.

2

Bring to a gentle simmer.

3

Season liberally with salt and pepper, to taste.

4

Cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant and tomatoes become very soft, 25-30 minutes.

5

If the tomatoes don’t release a lot of juice and the mixture seems too dry during cooking, add two tablespoons of water at a time up to 1/4 cup.

6

Coarsely mash the eggplant and tomatoes with a potato masher and stir in the fresh parsley.

7

Continue cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the dip has thickened to desired consistency.

8

Stir in the lemon juice and serve immediately, alongside some crusty bread for dipping.

Enjoy!
