Stuffed Eggplants | Makdous | 270g

"Makdous is a traditional Levantine delicacy made just as it’s always been—by hand, in small batches, with love (and a lot of garlic). Our eggplants are grown in the sun-drenched soil of Qaa, a rural village nestled at the foot of the Anti-Lebanon mountains. Handpicked, each eggplant is carefully stuffed with a flavorful mix of walnuts, garlic, and sweet pepper before being preserved in olive oil. 

Made by a family-run cooperative led by the Wehbé family, this is the real deal-just like you’d find in a teta’s kitchen."
