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 UA-cam! 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 UA-cam!
What is so funny but nice, is that while finding you on UA-cam, 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"
