This was quite a tasty recipe, but it took way longer than 10 mins for the broth/juice/wine sauce to reduce. I'm not sure if it was the wine I was using (I rarely ever drink rosé so I was unfamiliar and selected one that was more sweet than dry) or the altitude (I live above 6,000 ft), but for me, it took about 45 mins. I'd also recommend salting the eggplant to reduce bitterness. I'd make this again, but only if I have time to start preparing a couple hours in advance. Not great for a weeknight.
