How to store makdous in olive oil for a whole year

The golden rule: no water, no air

Leftover water and air exposure spoil makdous, which is why we press the eggplants for a full day before stuffing.

After opening

  • Keep pieces covered with oil.
  • Use a clean, dry spoon.
  • Close the jar tightly.

Where to store it

Somewhere cool, dry and dark. The fridge is optional; it may cloud the oil, which is normal.
