Even better topped with fresh and minty tzatziki and scooped up with some incredible za’atar flatbreads.
Zaalouk is a Moroccan dip with aubergine and tomatoes and is typically served with other dishes.
Here I’ve made it the major focus of the meal and added some chickpeas to make it more substantial and filling.
The flavour and texture combinations here are absolutely fantastic.
