I only put in 4 eggplant plants to my newly built garden and ended up with a real bumper crop of huge eggplants. I’ve been getting tired of the same old broiled, grilled or parmesan eggplant. This is a really great recipe! I’ve made it twice…once as written and once I added some spicey peppers. Both are a hit around here.

Indosungod, I never thought of using them in a sandwich, but it sounds like a great idea!

DaviMack, you are so right. Until I started photographing for this cooking blog, I never really thought about presentation; good flavor was enough for us. Still is!

Nazarina, I hope you get a chance to join in! We’re celebrating the first anniversary of Grow Your Own!

To me it looks delicious and beautiful and just ready to eat!

I love your GYO segment, It brings people closer to the earth and ultimately nature. Will try to participate next time. We have a big garden, pity it only lasts for 3 months!

You know, so many foods are not photogenic ... and we just have to ask why it is that we think food should look a certain way. To me, I'm glad to see something looking "rustic" because so often that means that it's passed into some other realm, where the food doesn't need to be photogenic in order to be plated. Yum!

Kalyn, thanks! I like spicy flavors with eggplant and used to get aa spicy eggplant stir fry dish at a restaurant in DC that was quite memorable. Sadly the restaurant is closed. Now I have to figure out how to make it!
Jennifer, Hazan’s book is wonderful, isn’t it? I’ve had my copy since 1995 and still love it.
Pooh, thanks and I hope you like them.
Victoria, it’s a good thing I shot that photo outside because indoors it would have looked so much worse.
Suzanne, I’ll be happy to share!

I’d be pleased to eat those fried mud and grass clippings any day. Suzanne's last blog post..Afternoon on a Hill by Edna St. Vincent Millay
