    This was delicious! I served it over a bowl of rice. Makes a hearty meal.

    I cut the salt in halve. Very salty otherwise.
    I also prefer them cut smaller (1/2 inch instead of 3/4)
    I sometimes toss the eggplant in a bowl or bag with the sauce instead of drizzling it for better coverage and this recipe says for 4 but if you are n eggplant nut, it may be for ONE!
    Love this one!
