We wanted more garlic. It could have stewed a little longer to carmelize. Next time salt the eggplant first, then start the rice. Pantry: We used the mushroom gravy that does not have beef bouillon flavoring. Rice: half white and half jasmine. Fume blanc. 1 tablespoon of Tamari, first, then 1 tablespoon of soy, low sodium.
