     I bought an eggplant because I read they were very high in fiber. I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to use it and then I found this recipe. Wow! Loved it. I don't feel guilty eating it and it tastes great. (I really think I am a closet vegetarian....and this comes from a butcher's daughter!!!) - 2/11/08

     Good recipe. I added an extra can of diced tomatoes w/chilis and served over brown rice. - 1/5/10

     It was good, but 1 tbsp is WAY TOO MUCH chili powder, thank goodness I left out the crushed red pepper. I will try it again with a little bit of chicken, per my husbands request and about 1/2 the chili powder. - 1/3/10

     Delicious! I also added 1/3 of a sweet potato and 1/2 of a portobello mushroom that I had to use up.
    I found I had to thicken the sauce with 2 TBSP of tomato paste at the end. - 8/24/19

     Yowza! Had an eggplant from the Farmer's Market on Saturday (today) that was at its peak. Found this using SparkRecipes app. Simply wonderful! Had lots of cherry tom's on hand so used 1 c of those, 3 tbsp tomato sauce and 6 oz H2O instead of canned.
    And NOT too much Chili Powder and chilies for - 9/1/15

     I don't usually like zucchini & had never had eggplant, so this recipe was huge step for me. I used a little less chili powder, added celery & mushrooms. Had it over brown/wild rice mix. I loved it! Great recipe and I'll be making this again. - 8/4/15
  • KSIBELL
     This was a great use of eggplant. I always by and try new vegetables with my young children. So I went to Sparks to look up a recipe for eggplant and found this. I did make some changes. I used six large banana peppers and no zucchini. I only used a half a teaspoon of chili powder, no crushed red pe - 7/16/15

     I'm going to make this tonight, looks great & I have all ingredients in the house. I'm going to put it over spaghetti squash! - 1/14/13
  • SCALEBEATER
     Nice! Thanks for the great recipe. I love the chili kick -- it's not too much, I added a dash of tabasco to mine too :) but I also used 3 zucchini (I had them in the house) so it needed more seasoning. - 10/21/12
  • CD11675029
     With everything ready in the garden I could use fresh veggies. Made this recipe exactly as specified. I found it to be bland & ended up doubling the chili powder, adding cumin and cilantro to make it palatable. I love the fresh veggies and I love black beans but the combination needed some punch. - 10/16/12

     This recipe looked good. I swapped 3 Asian eggplants for the one globe-type eggplant. Easy to make and tasty. - 9/8/12

     This was an excellent recipe, and very quick to make. I added a green pepper, some mushrooms and more spice. It turned out pretty thick so I served it over brown rice. Fantastic! - 10/20/11
