Super recipe Ronnie. I love eggplant and the flavors in this sound great. I will make this over the weekend. Good job, my friend. ^5


Hmmm, interesting. I just got a couple of oriental eggplant in my CSA, I'll be giving it a try! Thanks!


I love this stuff. What is a pickled cucumber? Is it just my favorite pickle? L.


Yes! It is !


Pickled cucumbers = just a regular dill pickle? Would it be weird to substitute just a regular cucumber for the pickles? I just wonder because the tomato is fresh, right? So the fresh cucumber might go well with the tomato. THe egglant will be good no matter what though because roasted eggplant always is, especially when you add garlic and olive oil to it! :) Hehe.

This sounds like a great recipe full of promise. Definitely will have to try this out...

Thanks!


We love babaganoush so this will kick it up a notch. Do you recommend the dill pickle or could you use fresh cucumber?


Nice recipe!


This looks divine!

5's up!


Love eggplant...baked or stuffed or Italian-style appetizer called caponata, so I am bookmarking this one for future use...dill pickles or bread and butter pickles?


Sounds great! My husband grows eggplans in his garden. Will definitely try it.


Yum! sounds delicious!


My family and I enjoy a similar recipe prepared with all the ingredients you have listed and I add 1 onion finely chopped. You've got my "5" forks for this winner!
