"I have been searching for a recipe that takes the bitterness out of eggplant and this is it. The balsamic vinegar helps to cook the eggplant just a little more inside, breaking down those tough cells and letting the flavor out. Normal grilling of eggplant causes the outer layer to seal and the inside never cooks, but this really does the job. Eating this is a pure heaven and with a little Pinot Noir.....MMMMM....MMMMMM!"
