Description

A tasty appetizer for any gathering. A simple but delicious and healthy eggplant dish can be prepared very quickly (not counting the time for baking and cooling the eggplant). You can optionally add walnuts as well. This dish pairs perfectly with shashlik or meat cooked on the grill. It's also very tasty with a piece of hot flatbread or fresh bread. Try it, and you'll change your mind (if it was negative) about eggplants :)
