Zaalouk (Moroccan Eggplant Dip)

Moroccan cuisine is quite like our Indian cuisine with their different spice mix and flavourful dishes....I do love moroccan cuisine coz of moroccan people living in France, i often prepare the famous moroccan dish couscous other than that i was quite a novice in moroccan cooking...I got a real opportunity to try loads of moroccan dishes coz of Lavi of Homecook Recipes, since she was hosting IAVW event as theme Moroccan...Am very happy and enjoy cooking moroccan dishes since few days..i even asked few of my moroccan friends to teach me simple dishes they do prepare as their daily menu, one among those dishes this zaalouk is quite a flavourful and delicious dip served usually with moroccan breads or else with grilled meats or BBQ dishes...To serve this moroccan eggplant dip i prepared moroccan semolina bread, which suits prefectly and also tastes really delicious with this dip....Will post soon the moroccan semolina bread which is prepared already twice, coz everyone at home loved the semolina bread...Coming to this dip am sending this Zaalouk to IAVW-Moraco guest hosted by Lavi of Home Cooks Recipes, event started by Vaishali....
