Zahluk (Tunesian and Moroccan Eggplant Puree (Spread)) image

This is a recipe that we've tried as part of our African cooking evening. Serve it as an appetizer or snack with flat bread. Recipe source is an African cook book which labels this dish as Tunesian. This recipe uses less oil than another Zahluk recipe I've seen in a Moroccon cook book.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! The eggplant puree is so smooth and creamy, and the flavors are amazing. I served it with pita bread and vegetables, and it was a delicious and healthy snack.

This is a great recipe, but I made a few changes. I used roasted red peppers instead of tomatoes, and I added a bit of cumin and coriander to the spice mix. It turned out delicious!

Overall, this is a great recipe. The eggplant puree is delicious, and the instructions are easy to follow. However, I found that it took longer to cook than the recipe stated. I would recommend adding an extra 15-20 minutes to the cooking time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish turned out too oily. I think I would reduce the amount of olive oil next time.

Amazing flavor, but a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less harissa.
