This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The eggplant was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking it next time instead of frying it.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I usually serve it over pasta, but it would also be good with rice or quinoa.
