Aubergine konfyt
R55.00
This unusual recipe originates from Morocco and the Middle East and makes a surprisingly fragrant sweet preserve. Traditionally, it is eaten by the spoonful with steaming hot tea or coffee and a glass of water. As the fruit is capable of absorbing flavours, it can be transformed into a delicious and versatile sweet-meat. We love it as a condiment with cheese platters, cured cold meats and salads.
