This dish was a disaster! The eggplant was mushy and the pork stuffing was dry. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to the pork stuffing.

This dish was delicious, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the pork stuffing next time.
