Raiding the fridge somehow landed me in Morocco
Zaalouk, Morocco's signature eggplant-tomato salad, is actually more of a warm, cooked-and-mashed dip. Clearing out fridge ingredients ahead of the holidays, I somehow ended up in North Africa.

Steps
01
Wrap the eggplants in plastic wrap, skin on, and microwave for 5 minutes.

In a pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp minced garlic, 1/2 tsp cumin, and 1/2 tsp paprika powder, then sauté roughly chopped tomato and mash it down.
03
Roughly chop the eggplant from step 1, add to the pan, and mash it the same way as the tomato. Season with salt and pepper.
04
Spoon the tomato-eggplant dip from step 3 into a bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil.
05
Top the sourdough with the tomato-eggplant dip and chopped perilla leaf to eat.
