Terroirs du Liban - Stuffed Eggplants in Oil (Makdous) - 270 g - Makdous - Appetizer and mezze - Artisanal and Natural

A classic of the Levantine region: makdous, small stuffed eggplants preserved in oil, are traditionally prepared from the end of autumn. Originating from the local varieties “Bou Shawki” and “El Homsi”, our eggplants are grown in the fertile region of Qaa, north of the Bekaa plain, where the dry climate and rich soils fully reveal their flavor. Prepared by hand by a rural women's cooperative, they are first put in brine, then delicately stuffed with nuts, garlic and sweet peppers, before being plunged into oil to be preserved using the ancestral method. Their melting texture, tangy taste and authentic character make them ideal for appetizers, mezze, brunches or vegetarian dishes. Recommended Uses: - Enjoy as is: On bread with tomato slices, or simply as an oriental appetizer. -As a side dish: Ideal for brunches, barbecues, sandwiches, salads, or vegetarian dishes. -Gourmet Idea: Replace classic Italian appetizers to surprise your guests at aperitif time. Size: Glass jar – 270g – 100% natural, preservative-free artisanal recipe.
