very nice and light dinner....

Love the story! Now that would be a lot of olive oil huh?

I did not add a huge amount and it turned out great....(more)

even PHil who is not a particularly lover of eggplant had a second helping

I think the secret is baking it covered for a full hour - the eggplant pretty much dissolves into deliciousness... smileys/wink.gif

I made something similar a few years back... (Bouranee Baunjan)

... although I like the idea of cumin for more flavor.

I made the Bouranee Baunjan after having something similar at a restaurant in Issaquah, Washington.

I think I'll try the Imam Biyaldi, thanks!
