Zakynthos Garlicky Eggplant Recipe (Skordostoumbi) by Diane Kochilas

This Greek recipe for garlicky baked eggplant is a traditional dish of the Ionian islands and a perfect example of great Mediterranean Diet vegetable cookery. The characteristic sweet-sour flavor imparted by the use of vinegar in the sauce is a local favorite. It’s a wonderful plant-based Greek recipe, one of the most delicious in the whole range of Greek vegetarian dishes.
Ingredients:
2 large or 3 medium eggplant about 2 pounds total, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
Salt to taste eggplant
1/2 to 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil as needed
8 to 10 garlic cloves to taste, peeled and crushed
4 to 5 large tomatoes
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ to ⅔ cup chopped fresh herbs of choice (parsley, oregano, mint, marjoram)
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar or to taste
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
4 - 5 tablespoons crumbled feta or grated ladotyri (optional)

I'm so glad I found you on RUclips! I used to enjoy your TV show, but we cut out cable because of the ridiculous price that it had gone to. So delighted to find you on RUclips!
What is so funny but nice, is that while finding you on RUclips, there was a segment posted of you cooking with Martha Stewart. It appeared to be 20 years in the past; but I just want to tell you you look better than ever Diane! Must be that Greek cuisine! 🥰

The taverna nearby puts feta on top of the tomatoes, so the feta flavor mixes with the tomato flavor, which leaves a special, super intense flavor.
He serves it with garlic white bread slices.
It's absolutely delicious.
As far as I can tell he also has 1 layer of eggplant, which he chops into about 2 finger wide and long cubes.
But he's very expensive.
He calls the dish, "the chef's eggplant"
