Moroccan Desert Salad image

Our guide made this salad for us several times, during a trek through Morocco's Sahara desert. It can be a main dish, served with lots of bread, or a starter. You can add other fried veggies such as potatoes (although they would have to be par-boiled first) and you can also vary the ingredients. In fact, I think it's best when you dress it up a bit, so consider this recipe like an empty artist's palette. Try making it with red onion, instead of white, a few olives, sliced boiled eggs or some tinned fish. Mackerel seemed quite popular in Morocco but chunks of tuna would also be nice.

Time 25m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tomatoes, chopped small
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 green pepper, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
1 medium eggplant, thinly sliced
2 eggs
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 -4 tablespoons oil (not olive oil)

Steps:

  • Put all the salad ingredients in a bowl.
  • Mix and leave to sit while you prepare the fried vegetables.
  • Beat the eggs in a small bowl and season with a bit of salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a 9-10" frying pan.
  • I prefer a non-stick pan.
  • When the oil is very hot, but not quite smoking, start dipping the eggplant into the egg and then putting it directly into the frying pan.
  • Work quickly until the pan is filled.
  • By the time you've covered the surface of the pan, it will likely be time to start flipping the eggplant.
  • Cook until they are golden on both sides, 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove the eggplant to a sheet of paper towel.
  • Cover and keep warm.
  • Continue frying the eggplant in batches, then cook the zucchini using the same method.
  • Heap the salad in the middle of a large bowl or plate and arrange the fried veggies around the salad.
  • Serve immediately.
