Notes
Tips and Tricks
Make sure to dice the eggplant into small, evenly sized pieces for even cooking. Use a tagine if you have one, as it helps to retain moisture and intensify flavors. If you don't have a tagine, use a large pot with a lid and cook the dish on low heat to prevent the liquid from evaporating too quickly. Serve the dish with a side of couscous or rice to make it a complete meal.Nutrition
