needs some garlic powder SP to taste... I never peel my eggplant the skin holds most of the nutrition and the slices hold their shape I usually fry my slices in oil before assembling (dip slices in apple cider vinegar first then flour salt pepper garlic powder ) and add fresh basil from my garden and oregano sometimes I even grow my own eggplant

This is a quick recipe and something different from the usual. I do think it is best to peel it.

On older, larger eggplant, the skins don't always soften, so I always peel. On the Japanese or Chinese eggplant (long, skinny, lavender in color) or smaller standard eggplant, just slice and go. Skin is very tender.

"Trim" the eggplant means to cut of the top with the stem and the bottom with the blossom end. The picture shows the eggplant without skin, so I'm planning to peel the eggplant, also.

It would be nice if they specify what trimmed means on the eggplant. Does that mean to remove the purple peeling?
