Savor the bold and earthy flavors of the Levant with our Authentic Maqdous – Stuffed Baby Eggplants in Olive Oil (500g), a traditional delicacy handcrafted using an age-old Middle Eastern recipe.
Each baby eggplant is carefully selected, steamed until tender, then hand-stuffed with a flavorful mix of crushed walnuts, garlic, red chilli, and aromatic spices. Once stuffed, they are marinated and preserved in premium cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil for several days, allowing the flavors to develop beautifully.
Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and free from preservatives, Maqdous is not only a delicious mezze dish but also a nutrient-rich snack, offering healthy fats, plant protein, antioxidants, and fiber. This is a must-have for lovers of authentic Levantine cuisine and gourmet food explorers.
