My Bosnian meal felt very meat heavy, but I couldn't really find many vegetable recipes that I could incorporate. I decided to go with this fried eggplant recipes both because it was vegetarian and because it was easy. It was an amazing hit. My friend Parker, in particular, loved it - and even Mike who doesn't like eggplant ate a bit of it.
