The eggplant jam is a show stealer! Dinner was running late so I didn't bother to skin the tomatoes,I also served it warm rather than room temperature. Fantastic! I'll make it for company next time.
Merguez with Chickpea Purée and Eggplant Jam

Merguez, an aromatic North African sausage, makes a delicious change from the plain old hot dog--especially when you add these sides. The pleasantly bitter dandelion greens cut the fat of the sausage. Suzanne Goin, chef and co-owner of four Los Angeles restaurants--Lucques, A.O.C., Tavern, and the Larder at Maple Drive--created this recipe for an outdoor feast celebrating the 10th anniversary of A.O.C.
