a Morrocan salad called 'Zalook'?

[The Chubby Chef]

Hiya all,

This is my first post here so let me briefly introduce myself: I'm the chef of a small catering company in Dublin selling the food I know from home (Israel), I've just started and there's a lot of research involved here, to find more information about the sources of the food I know ever since.

My question is about an aubergine salad my Moroccan grandmother used to make and call it 'Zalook' . It's mashed aubergines with red peppers, slowly cooked on low flame with garlic, cumin and lemon juice.

This version in the picture is with parsley and no red peppers, but besides that that is what I mean.

Based on your knowledge of the Moroccan cuisine, do you know if it called 'Zalook' or 'Zaloog' or any other name?

I'll use the Moroccan name for the label in English and Arabic.

Thanks

Udi.

I've always seen it written 'zaalouq' or 'zaalouk'.

Yeah, that's the one, thanks,

Just needed the correct name for the label (-:
