This is so delicious! The flavours of this recipe go together so well. I only could find rather small eggplants so I made about half the filling with about 15 slices. I used one clove of garlic in the sauce. I couldn't find lemon thyme anywhere so I used regular thyme with the juice of a half of lemon. I served it on a bed of white rice. I will make this again for sure. Made for PAC Autumn '09.
