  1. This was my 3rd eggplant recipe that I've ever made [all since joining ZAAR!] & I've now removed that 'fruit' from my 'Don't Ever Eat!' list to my 'Make-It-Again-From-Time-To-Time' list!! I did add another 1/4 cup of onion & just a bit more basil, but that's all, & I was very pleased with the results, as were my guests! Thanks for sharing!
