Eggplant is one of my favorite foods ever. Once upon a time I lived with a man who hated eggplant and I was very sad.
Then things changed and I could eat all the eggplant I wanted, whenever I wanted. So I did. This recipe has become one of my favorite summer side dishes to enjoy hot or cold. This is great warm mixed with a little roasted garlic and tahini, but it’s also delicious with heirloom tomatoes, goat, cheese, and beans. I hope you enjoy!
