Eggplant Tagine

October 23, 2008 by Monica Nelson Leave a Comment

I LOVE Eggplant!!! This recipe, with all of its fantastic flavors, is just perfect.  You can also try it with cilantro- I play with cilantro, sometimes I really like it, sometimes I don’t. 🙂 This Morocco dish is just as tasty as it is simple. You can serve over couscous or rice. If you want it “Low-Carb,” just keep it as is, and serve with a salad or a veggie. 🙂  Of course I make an amazing Yogurt topping that really finishes this dish off, it is easy- 4 ingredients and the mint just gets the flavor to pop even more.

Want more? Also try my Eggplant Sandwiches, my Cumin-Roasted Eggplant with Sweet-Pepper and Chickpeas, and my Artichoke and Eggplant Skewers. Enjoy~
