What is makdous, and what makes ours different?
Makdous is a traditional Levantine and Jordanian dish: small local eggplants are boiled, salted and pressed to remove their water, then stuffed with walnuts, red pepper and garlic and cured in olive oil for weeks. At Bathenjan a Jordanian mother makes it at home the old way, and you choose your filling: skip the hot pepper, or add extra walnuts.

Makdous in olive oil keeps up to 12 months sealed and 3 months after opening, as long as the pieces stay covered with oil and you use a dry spoon.
Yes. On the product page every filling ingredient is ticked; untick hot pepper or anything else and we will prepare your order without it.
