Intensely Delicious Zaalouk Dip

I think aubergines are highly underrated and this is possibly a throw back to when vegetables were simply boiled to death if you didn’t know what to do with them. Thankfully, we’ve come a long way since then and when simple vegetables are paired with herbs and spices, they become delicious in every way, not to mention highly nutritious. I often use them as a spread on flatbreads, as with this recipe. I prefer my zaalouk served lukewarm on hot flatbread or toasted sourdough bread.
