Egyptian Eggplant Dish (Masaa'a) image

Eggplant dish that can be served either as a side dish, or as as I prefer, a main dish over rice. We sometimes add a little browned ground beef to the mixture (about 1/2 pound) for a little variation. More traditionally it is made with a hot pepper rather than a green one, but my family prefers the green pepper. Spice it up as much as you want!

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large eggplant, cut into 1/2 inch slices
2 large potatoes, cubed
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon good mustard

Steps:

  • Fry the eggplant slices in oil until golden, set aside on paper towels to drain, and lightly salt.
  • Fry potatoes until golden and set aside on paper towels to drain. Lightly salt.
  • Fry pepper slices in oil until tender, set aside.
  • In a pan, saute the onion until soft. Add Garlic, and saute a 1-2 min more.
  • Add the spices and mustard (except salt, unless you want more- I usually think the salted veggies are salty enough. Just taste and see).

This is a great recipe for using up leftover eggplant. The tahini sauce is a nice change of pace from the usual tomato sauce.

This dish is a bit time-consuming to make, but it is definitely worth the effort. The eggplant is roasted to perfection, and the tahini sauce is incredibly flavorful. I highly recommend serving this dish with some warm pita bread.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The eggplant is savory and smoky, while the tahini sauce is creamy and tangy. I also appreciate that this dish is relatively healthy, as it is made with fresh vegetables and lean protein.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The eggplant cooks quickly, and the tahini sauce can be made ahead of time. I served it with some grilled chicken and a side of rice.
