📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Fouti is a vegetable sauce made in Malian homes: small bitter eggplants (jakatou) or regular eggplants, tomatoes, and onions are cooked and mashed, then seasoned with a little oil and chili. It's poured over white rice or served with fish or meat. Simple, but full of eggplant flavor.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At midday in a Malian home, a reddish-brown sauce of cooked-down eggplant and tomato is poured generously over a plate of white rice.
