OH WOW! This is really delicious! The garlic makes it VERY pungent...but it's heaven for us garlic lovers! I agree with the previous reviewer, it would be awesome with some fresh tomatoes and cheese...or as a luncheon side dish with cold meats and cheeses. Thanks! Great recipe! P.S. One week later I have been eating this as a low carb side all week. Just wanted to add that the pungency really mellows after a day or so. I am making more today. This is an awesome side dish or sandwich filler! One of the BEST 'zaar' recipes I have ever found!

We love eggplant, garlic, and olive oil, so this dish was right up our alley! I agree with Lennie, that the "bite" of the fresh garlic really complements the mellow flavor of the eggplant. This is absolutely delicious, and a dish we'll make year-round, although we especially like it grilled outside (we've made it both inside and outside). Really delicious dish that DH and I both enjoyed immensely. Thanks, Lennie!
