I'm not a huge fan of eggplant, but this recipe changed my mind. The eggplant was roasted to perfection and had a lovely smoky flavor. The tomatoes and mint were also a great addition.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover eggplant. I had some roasted eggplant in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use it up.
