This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. The tahini sauce is a nice change of pace from the usual tomato-based sauces. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love the smoky flavor that the roasted eggplant adds to this dish. The tahini sauce is also very good, but I found it to be a bit too thick. Next time, I'll try thinning it out with some water or lemon juice.
