Extremely delicious. A wonderful blend of flavors. Will certainly keep this under my eggplant fav's Did not change a thing. thanks dear carla -
Yummy! -
This is very tasty. The only change I made was to increase the garlic, and it took more than 1 tablespoon of olive oil to fry the eggplant. I took a photo and tried to post it, but that didn't work. It's a nice side dish and we will be having it again. -
This is a pretty nice recipe .. I will use less oil next time .. thanks
