A little spicy, lots of flavor and super easy to make! Thiszaalouk Moroccan eggplant dip is a delicious addition to your BBQ, your “mezze table”, or just to enjoy your lunch in a different way! Delicious on a baguette, a piece of flatbread or crispy cracker. It is a vegan dish because we only use vegetables and some fruit. It tastes best if you leave it for a day. The flavors then really penetrate well into the roasted aubergines and that's delicious!
Zaalouk Moroccan eggplant dip
You can make this Zaalouk Moroccan eggplant dip in different ways. You can roast the aubergines on the BBQ directly on the coals, in the oven, or even on your gas hob. As long as the meat in the skin softens properly. The “Smokey” effect of the BBQ will only add extra flavor. You can keep it in the refrigerator for a few days. Put it in a closed Tupperware box, and when you are going to eat it, let it warm up on your countertop for a while.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.

Nice and easy: click on the logo of your favorite supermarket to add the ingredients.
And this is how you make it:
- Prick the aubergines with a fork and place them in the oven at 210 degrees for about 40 minutes until they are completely soft.
- Place the frying pan on the stove and heat it, pour in the olive oil and then add the herbs and garlic. Let it fry until it smells nice and then add the tomatoes. Break them up with a wooden spatula and season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer gently over low heat so that the moisture from the tomatoes evaporates a little.
- Squeeze the lemon and add the juice to the tomato mixture.
- Remove the aubergines from the oven and cut them in the middle and scrape out all the flesh and add it to your frying pan. Use the spatula to separate the meat and mix well with the tomatoes. Add the parsley.
- Let it simmer for a while and then put it in a bowl. Can be served hot or cold, and if you let it sit for a day the flavors are absorbed even better.
- Delicious bites!
Eggplant is a vegetable that does not have much flavor on its own. But I do have a solution for that, the dishes below prove that with the right herbs and spices you can make a fantastic dish!
