Moroccan Eggplant (Aubergine) Salad

"This was my first time boiling eggplant and it turned out very good! Boiling it with the garlic makes it extra special...we were eating it plain as it was cooling. I found this recipe to be very simple and tasty. We ate it with white rice."

  1. Easy and nice dish. The dish itself was a little plain for my tastes, so I added in chopped up onion and tomatoes (well salted and peppered). I like the lemony, smokey flavour, and the ease. Eat it with rice or couscous, or toasted pita. Eaten/compared with another eggplant dish, my friend really liked them both but preferred this one!
     
  2. A new and interesting way to fix eggplant for me! At first I wasn't too sure how I felt about it but after letting sit for awhile, I enjoyed the lemony cumin taste! Thank you!
     
  3. I Loved it! NEVER had them boiled before but I LOVE aubergines and this dish did not disappoint me (DH HATES aubergines so he couldn't care less for this dish but never mind him, I got to finish his share as well!!).. Thank you, Engrossed, for sharing your wonderful recipe.. definitely be making this again!
     
  4. We liked this a lot. I used 3 Japanese eggplants instead of one big one. I didn't let it sit over night as the other reviews suggest, but it seemed fine to us. Perhaps the smaller eggplants made a difference? Anyway, two of us had no problem polishing off the whole recipe. ;) Thanks!
     
  5. I loved it! Boiled eggplant was something new for me, too but it was so easy and tasty! I made it as written and I follow Annacia's advice, leaving it overnight. Next time I'll add some fresh parsley at the end! A perfect salad for a summer lunch, I had it with grilled chicken and I enjoyed a low cal dinner. Thanks Engrossed!
