What is Vegetable Eggplant Makhbas?
Vegetable eggplant makhbas is an Arab-style, vegetable-led dish built around aubergine, cooked until tender with other vegetables, oil and seasoning. Recipes vary, and the name does not necessarily mean that rice is part of the dish.
The aubergine turns soft and almost creamy, while the vegetables and spices bring a savoury, rounded flavour. It can be served warm as a main or side, with rice or flatbread; for English-speaking diners, it also works well alongside a simple salad.
