This is my first SparkPeople recipe! It's one of our favourite dishes which my husband particularly enjoys making. He even made it for my birthday this week.

Zaalouk is a Moroccan eggplant and tomato salad that incorporates a large amount of garlic and fresh herbs. It's best made in the height of Summer when the tomatoes are in their prime, and can be served warm or cold - I prefer it warm and mixed with chickpeas.

I needed to check the calorie count on this recipe which I'd gotten from the internet.

The original recipe called for slightly larger amounts of chickpeas and squash, 8 leaves of mint and a handful of coriander instead of basil and oregano. I began with the amount of squash I'd brought home from the green market and modified the chickpea amount to fit that. I didn't have mint or coriander on hand when I made the recipe, so I made the substitution. The flavor is different but I doubt there's any difference in calorie count.

The cooking time stated is for all prep,cooking the squash, using canned chickpeas.

If you cook the chickpeas from their dried state the cooking time will be longer.
