Eggplant (Aubergine) Fit for a Sheik (Sheik Al Mihshee) image

My grandmother NEVER told me this was eggplant, or I never would have eaten it. Darn it! I guess I really DO like eggplant. The nerve of her! Prep time includes time to allow eggplant "sweat" or drain.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.
