  • About

Estofado is a very old Judeo-Spanish dish where chicken is combined with a twice-cooked sweetened eggplant compote. This recipe comes from Saveurs de mon enfance and is a specialty of Tangier and Tetouan. La table juive calls this baraniya and adds chickpeas to the eggplant and onion confit. For another version of baraniya, see the eggplant confit.
