I made this for dinner the other night, it was simply amazing! I served it with french bread and it was delicious. Turns out my daughter is mildly allergic to eggplants, I'll make her something different next time but I will make this receipe again and again. I didn't have cooking wine so I substitued with a dry white, NUM!
