The ingredients for ZaaLook (Eggplant) are:

- 2 Eggplants
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 2 TB olive oil
- 1.5c canned crushed tomatoes (about 14oz) OR use 4 whole large tomatoes grated and skin removed (this will help reduce sodium content)
- 1 TB dried parsley
- 1 TB dried cilantro
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- salt and pepper to taste.

Here is how you make ZaaLook (Eggplant):

- Peel and coarsley dice eggplant, add garlic and about a cup of water to a large skillet and cook over medium heat til eggplant is soft and semi-translucent (about 8 minutes). - Remove from heat and drain excess liquid with a seive or colander. Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, olive oil, paprika, and cumin in the same pan and cook on medium heat til most of the liquid has evaporated (if you are using canned tomatoes this should take no time at all. You are basically just warming the tomatoes up). - Add the eggplant mixture, the parsley, cilantro, salt and pepper (if using) and cook about 8 minutes to give flavors a chance to blend. At the same time, mash the eggplant chunks so the ZaaLook has a consistant texture. I like to use a pastry blender for this, but a spoon works just as well. Serve warm or cold.
