Vegan maakouda
- Mash the potatoes into a purée.
- Make the egg-substitute mixture and add the spices and salt.
- Mix the potato with the previous mixture and shape into slightly flattened balls.
- Coat them in flour and fry them (I fried them in a little oil and left them on kitchen paper to soak up any excess)
Aubergine zaalouk
- Put the diced tomatoes in a frying pan and, when they’re soft, add the spices, the chopped garlic, parsley and coriander and the chopped olives.
- Let it cook for about 15-20 min. Then add the chopped aubergine, roasted or baked and peeled beforehand.
- Let the aubergine absorb all the flavour, mashing it a little.
- It can be eaten hot, cold or warm.
