Tastes really good, especially when left overnight in fridge to marinate and blend the flavors. Baked the eggplant for about 1&1/2 hrs for it to be sufficiently soft. Thank you for delecious recipe.

Made this as written with the exception of roasting the garlic along with the eggplant. This was really yummy, and we ate it with a sliced toasted baguette.
