Dilme (Eggplant with Lentils) with Roti Mariam (Fried Flatbread)

I loved this eggplant and lentil recipe! It is such a unique way to cook lentils, and it was extremely easy too!  I got this recipe from http://www.giverecipe.com. This dish was made by Zerrin’s mom and I am so happy I made it. Best of all, I don’t have to post the recipe (my least favorite thing about blogging).  So click on the links below to check them out.

To accompany this dish I also made a fried flatbread I came across while blog-surfing. I assigned the task to Mark and he did a great job. It was delicious!

I also made a quick greek salad with a lime & olive oil dressing. Light, quick and easy.

Note: I changed a few things noted below

1. I only used 4 large japanese eggplants, cut in half.
2. To the tomato and lentils mix I added red chili peppers for heat and chopped cilantro instead of dry basil.
3. Once the eggplants are stuffed and assembled in pan (single layer), instead of adding water to simmer I added 1/2 c. vegetable broth and 1/2 c. dry white wine (can also add red wine). I also added the juice of 1/2 lime.
4. I added the leftover lentil mix to the pan to cook along with the eggplant.
5. Yogurt: I used greek yogurt and added garlic, salt and lime zest.
