Recipes Side Dish Vegetables Eggplant Eggplant with Almonds 4.1 (22) 19 Reviews 8 Photos This eggplant is great served as a side dish or as a complete meal atop bulgur wheat, or couscous. It's a savory and sweet Mediterranean dish. The almonds are a nice source of protein for vegetarians like myself. Enjoy!
