Sicilians have hundreds of delicious recipes for eggplant. Here's one of the simplest, and naturally my favorite. The classic combination of simple ingredients is simply delicious. I have served this to my Northern Italian friends. They all love it, especially if served with a glass of Nero d'Avola red, born on the Southern shores of this heavenly island!
