I made a very small timbale (1/2 recipe) for just DH and myself and we both thought it was lovely. The spices are a critical element in the 'greekness' of th is dish. The eggplant becomes almost buttery. Yum! Served with orzo.

I made a half recipe of this dish when DH came home w/a smaller-than-normal eggplant. This dish is all about the prep & eggplant, altho cooking it essentially upside-down does allow the lovely cinnamon flavour of the eggplant to infuse the otherwise straight-forward grd lamb mixture. I made 2 expedient chgs in the prep & was faithful to the recipe otherwise. The 1st chg came early as I looked at the eggplant & said to myself - Why fifths, Kate? The eggplant is round & the dish will be round, so why not sixths? I halved the eggplant from top-to-bottom & then split ea half into 3 equal segments. It was so easy now to prepare the eggplant skin segments & remove nearly all of the eggplant pulp. I also used 1 beaten egg in the recipe, adding half of it to the meat mix & half to the eggplant mix in the hope that all the parts of the whole would hold together well - which they did. The cinnamon shines in this dish. We loved the flavour & this dish. I will make it again for us, but save the gift-wrap presentation for guests. Pls see my rating system & thx for posting this tasty & unique recipe.
