  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

  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

  Really good, I doubled up the servings and had with a cup of brown rice for lunches for almost a week. It was so good reheated. - 6/10/08

  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.

  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

  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

  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

  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

  I've had eggplant go bad on many an occasion. Planned to specifically make it right away. It was great! I paid some attention to the reviewers that felt that there was too much chili powder and reduced the amount. I will top it with the sour cream when I heat leftovers. - 9/1/11

  Not a huge eggplant fan so was looking for ways to use it with other ingredients. Really liked the flavor of the combination of veggies and beans. Had as a side dish but will definitely try with chicken or over brown rice as a meal. I modified the quantities a bit and cut the oil in 1/2. - 5/23/11

  I hate when I can't tell what the size of a serving should be - assumed 1 cup - got 7. Added a T of cumin and topped it with a quarter cup of FF Greek yogurt and had it over brown rice. Very tasty and filling. - 4/10/11

  I found this while hunting for a black bean side dish, and it's definitely a keeper, with grated asiago on top! We like spice, so we used diced tomatoes w/ green chilies and a whole poblano pepper for the heat, but cut the chili powder to 1/2 tsp. I agree that 1T chili powder is way too much! - 2/25/11

  This also makes a great side dish for a bit of roast chicken. A nice dollop of fat-free sour cream or low-fat cream cheese makes an alternative to parmsean. Very versatile, too, as you can add any other veg that may be languising in the crisper... Will definitely make again! - 1/16/11

  This was AMAZING!!!! I didn't have any zucchini, so I just left it out. I used a big can of crushed tomatoes, and instead of chili flakes, I added a seeded fresh jalapeno. Also, I had some leeks, so I used those instead of the onions. I will DEFINITELY keep this in my recipe file!!! - 10/26/10

  Thank you so much! I will definitely be trying this. I decided to become a vegan & bought a variety of fruits/vegs, but I then got sick. I have been in the bed and some of my stuff is starting to go bad. I don't want to waste that eggplant b/c it's not cheap! Thank you! - 2/19/10

  This was very good. DH and I both liked it but without the hot stuff! We cannot eat spicy food. I used Mrs. Dash Original Blend and Black Pepper instead and it came it out quite good.

  This was delicious! I reduced the oil by half to reduce the calories, but I think the calorie count listed may be off (too low)... the nutritional information is based on one cup beans, but there's 1 3/4 cups in a can. The sodium seems pretty low too. But I'll definitely make this again! - 5/12/08

  I made this dish, but added only .75 tsp of chili powder and omitted the chili flakes because I had young children to feed. I put the cayenne on the table for the adults to add more if they liked. I served it over rice and skipped the parmesan. My husband had it with the cheese. Very filling! - 7/9/07

  We skipped the parmesan topping to save calories. Even the kids liked this one, although we used minimal chile powder & no chili peppers. It's almost like a veggie stew or warm salsa. It was something different and enjoyable! - 3/15/07
