This was an interesting recipe. Overall the flavor was very nice. I made this in two batches as I always do when I try and rate a recipe. I made a couple of changes the second time around which I think really worked better.<br/><br/>I didn't add the scallions as early as the recipe states. I added them when I added the eggplant. Also, the egg plant I diced vs medallions which to me just didn't work and I didn't use any onion powder and used fresh garlic. Overall it was a very nice recipe. I'm thinking a little red pepper may be nice. It needed a bit of a kick I think.<br/>But thanks for a unique recipe.<br/>Made for PAC 2011
