Description
Palestinian preservation traditions — primarily makdous (baby eggplant stuffed with walnuts and chilli, preserved in olive oil) and the broader pickle (mukhalal) tradition — represent the intersection of necessity (preservation before refrigeration) and flavour transformation (ingredients that are good fresh but extraordinary preserved). Makdous specifically demonstrates the Palestinian principle of using olive oil as both a preservation medium and a flavour infusion vehicle.
