Reviews for Sweet-and-Sour Eggplant

This dish converted me into an eggplant lover. The sauce is so delicious and versatile enough that I always double the sauce recipe.

The best...eggplant recipe...ever. I would advise against adding the extra oil to the sauce, it is completely unnecessary. I've made this numerous times and it has blown away gourmet and gourmand friends alike. So simple, yet so delightful. Also, don't worry about finding ricotta salata, manchego or that "drunken goat" Spanish cheese work equally well. This dish is also quite a value, it can cost less than $5 and serve 6 or more people. It is great with pasta and slathered on Italian bread.

UPDATE to review:  This is an incredible dish.  However, in my previous review, I suggested that it was ok to omit the mint.  I have since made the dish with the mint and it creates an incredible flavor mix that should not be left out. Definitely use the mint!

This could be the best thing I have ever tasted, and I'm not a big fan of eggplant!!! I can't get enough!!  I used feta instead of ricotta salata and left out the mint (didn't have either) and it was still supreme.  I have made it 3 times already, definitely a winner even if you don't like eggplant.

This is the most incredible eggplant dish that my husband and I remember having. Did use a 28 oz can of marinara sauce as I had it on hand and didn't have good canned tomatoes. Will absolutely be making again.
