Abou
Ganouje (Spicy Eggplant Salad) |

 Abou Ganouje is a traditional Turkish salad similar to ratatouille, with a chunky mixture of eggplant, green peppers, tomatoes, and onions. Compared to the tamely spiced ratatouille, however, abou ganouje is exuberantly seasoned with warm cumin and fiery chili powder. Allow this salad to rest for about an hour before serving to help blend flavors. (It's even better the next day.) Serve with warm pita bread. |
