I have always thought that I did not like Eggplant - This recipe has shown me that it isn't the eggplant that I dislike it's the recipes that I have tried them in. This recipe is WONDERFUL. Subtle spices that not only taste so good but the aroma while it is cooking is taste tingling. I cut the recipe in half - no problem. I used beef but will make this again with lamb I know that it will be excellent. Do not over use the clove & cinnamon - follow the recipe. I used "No oil"instead of butter for the casserole dish. Do try this recipe if eggplant is new to you - You will love it. Cook time even for a half recipe is right on

This is one of two eggplant casseroles (the other one is Twissis' Eggplant Casserole - (Melitzanes Me Kreas Sti Katsarola)) that I've tried on 'Zaar and really love. My partner came home from work last night and said, "It smells really good in here, what are we having?" Always a good thing! I cut my eggplant into roughly 1 inch cubes. I also added one red bell pepper (capsicum). Served this over brown rice to the delight of my dear partner. We both had to have seconds. Thank you for sharing!

Elissa, this was great. Flavors and texture were just to our liking. Next time, I will eliminate the salt, the salt on the eggplant was enough for our taste. I also eliminated the butter and the pepper. thanks for a keeper.

This was the very first time I ever made eggplant, and I loved it! I substituted ground turkey~ otherwise followed it as written and it turned out fabulous! Even my mother was impressed. Thanks for sharing your recipe Elissa. I will be making this winner again!
