Awesome! All the flavors were perfectly balanced and well integrated! I usually prefer a crisper eggplant that uses breadcrumbs and was surprised at how much we ALL enjoyed this recipe. We had plenty of sauce and plenty of eggplant (maybe our eggplant was bigger then most). What a fabulously creative use of contest ingredients! I would make this recipe again and I am positive that everyone in my house would cheer if I did (I don't usually make the same thing twice)Good Luck Chef! Wonderful Submission!Reply
