A definite "go to" if you have never been, especially all the restored ruins down at Ephesus. As for this dish, I have been getting into eggplant more and this looks fantastic! Love your line "A delicious baked eggplant dish that is redolent of sautéed peppers, tomato, parsley, onion, garlic, and olive oil."
