Very delicious recipe!!!!!
I agree that the garlic is too overpowering to just blend up like that. Instead, saute the garlic with the shallots, balsamic vinegar and sauce (I used pasta sauce) and then once that is cool, blend it. This gives it a much more smoother and less overpowering flavor; makes a huge difference!
Ah! Soooo good ! Ate this with a slice of smoked ham and some greens … put alot less garlic though , and could have even put less.. its very over powering. Otherwise, best lunch ever !
Delicious, although I think 5 cloves of garlic is way too much – will make it with 2 next time. Or maybe even a tomato/ basil sauce…
I finally made this. I really liked it. I wish I had salted my eggplant and the sauce slightly as well as the cheese to bring out the flavors.
Made this last night and it was DELICIOUS! Thanks for sharing :)
This sounds amazing. Can’t wait to make.
