I was recently in Amsterdam and we had a delicious “mezze lunch” for lunch. A table full of delicious snacks, including hummus, papadum, naan, and also grilled vegetables. The only thing I remembered about the vegetable was eggplant, so I started working on this stewed eggplant with sumac mezze at home. Delicious as an addition to your mezze meal with other delicious dishes. Such as feta, hummus and olives.

Stewed eggplant with sumac mezze

What is sumac? Sumac spices come from the Rhus Coriara berry bush. These shrubs are part of the wig tree family and often grow in the Mediterranean region. But what exactly is sumac? The berries of the Sumac bush are picked, bruised, dried and later ground into powder. Due to its sour taste, sumac is also called pickle spice. Eggplants themselves don't have much flavor, so adding sumac gives the vegetable a fresh taste. Served with delicious hummus, labneh and some naan you have a perfect mezze meal.

Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
