Eggplant (Aubergine) Appetizer - Romanian Style - (Vinete) image

Annie swore by Mazola oil... Annie is my mother; Her children all affectionately called her Annie. Eggplant was relatively inexpensive. It was used frequently in various Romanian recipes prepared in my home. I developed a taste for the eggplant's distinctive flavour and enjoy it to this day.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong but my eggplant turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked it for too long.
