Trader Joe's Greek Bundle - Dolmas Vine Leaves Stuffed with Rice & Gretian Style Eggplant with Tomatoes & Onions And NY Reusable Shopping Bag

Upon tasting Grecian Style Eggplant with Tomatoes & Onions, we were enchanted by the soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture and the smooth, almost squash-like, eggplant flavor that came to life amidst the bright, savory-sweetness of the tomatoes and onions. This meze-style serving is made for us in Bulgaria (where the eggplant is grown) by our famed Greek Dolmas producers. They take whole, long, narrow eggplants-split in half lengthwise-and stew them in a rich, flavorful "sauce" of tomatoes and onions. Seasoned with parsley, garlic, red pepper, and curry powder, then canned with soy oil, the gently-flavored fruits of the nightshade family blossom with seductive, Mediterranean essence. The eggplant halves unfurl from the can impressively intact. Place them on a plate for a ready-to-enjoy edible. Serve them as a side to roasted lamb and rice, or as a salad with fresh green bell peppers and feta. Heat and broil with a little cheese to make delicious pasta.
