Directions
Hajar’s Eggplant (Aubergine) Braniya Salad, Here in Morocco we have a few very good eggplant salads (slatas) The best known being Zalouk Braniya is the Moroccan Arabic word for eggplant and this salad is begged for by hubby and friends! This is a lush paritally cooked salad that does involve standing time This is not good without standing 6 hours or overnight is even better! It just doesn’t work freshly done c 2005, We have tons of eggplant available in this tropical climate so this recipe was a great choice for using seasonal produce I love recipes that I can make the night before when I know I will be a reluctant cook on a busy day Even the kids liked this one

Steps
1
Done
|
Brown the Eggplant in the Oil. No Need to Salt or Fiddle at All With the Eggplant. I Do This in a Large Skillet on Moderate Heat and Wait Quite a While Before Moving or Turning the Cubes. You Want It Nicely Browned and Cooked Through Though not Mush. the Given Amount of Oil Is Enough to Do This and I Have Never Had to Add More. Your Pan Will Look Overfull but the Eggplant Will Shrink. |
