Versatile zaalouk is a hearty and flavorful main dish over brown rice; or a dip with chopped vegetables and pita, served warm or cold. Roasting or grilling the eggplant first gives the dish a more complex flavor (roast extra eggplant for baba ganoush).You can substitute 1⁄2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper if harissa is not available.
