Zalouk

The Soul of a New Cuisine

I flip through the pages, checking list of ingredients, looking for clues as to what are manageable recipes to start with. My pantry is not stocked with smoked herring or the various - and there are many - types of chilies.

I chose a variation of Zalouk, a Moroccan dish, named "Warm Eggplant-Butternut Squash Salad."

This weekend, me and my shopping list will dash to the food store (I have 3 favorites), and bring home the beginnings of my masterpiece.

Red alert! -Taste buds are salivating!
