Makdus Pickled

Makdous is a traditional Levantine delicacy made from small, tender eggplants carefully stuffed with a savory mixture of walnuts, garlic, and red chili peppers. The stuffed eggplants are then preserved in premium olive oil, allowing the flavors to meld into a rich, tangy, and slightly spicy taste profile. This artisanal process not only enhances the depth of flavor but also maintains the soft yet firm texture of the eggplants. Makdous is a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, often served as part of a mezze spread, alongside bread, cheese, or fresh vegetables.
