Easy and nice dish. The dish itself was a little plain for my tastes, so I added in chopped up onion and tomatoes (well salted and peppered). I like the lemony, smokey flavour, and the ease. Eat it with rice or couscous, or toasted pita. Eaten/compared with another eggplant dish, my friend really liked them both but preferred this one!

I Loved it! NEVER had them boiled before but I LOVE aubergines and this dish did not disappoint me (DH HATES aubergines so he couldn't care less for this dish but never mind him, I got to finish his share as well!!).. Thank you, Engrossed, for sharing your wonderful recipe.. definitely be making this again!

I loved it! Boiled eggplant was something new for me, too but it was so easy and tasty! I made it as written and I follow Annacia's advice, leaving it overnight. Next time I'll add some fresh parsley at the end! A perfect salad for a summer lunch, I had it with grilled chicken and I enjoyed a low cal dinner. Thanks Engrossed!

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
