    I create a lasagna with layers of thin eggplant instead of noodles. Lower carb and lower starch, but soooo good!

    I've tried it several ways, and my favorite, really the only way I eat it now, is the above recipe.

    If I could marry eggplant I would, so long as it was ok with being in a polygamous marriage with me and salmon sashimi.

    This is almost exactly the way I make it, too - but with lots of garlic and some basil. It really is delicious, and if you go easy on the olive oil you can eat a lot of it for very few calories.

    I absolutely love all vegetables. I would eat nothing but veggies if I wasn't trying to hit a protein goal. But I really dislike eggplant. I love Baba Ganoush, but all other eggplant needs to DIAF. The skin is a pretty color though.

    Ha ha I was thinking the same thing. I love egg plant. I love all food. But, I am not crazy about protein foods and since I like everything the thing I like least gets shoved to the bottom of my priority list.

    Do you have to cook the eggplant first? i have never made anything with eggplant but would like to try this. does the skin stay on it? do you cut it legthwise or widthwise?

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! But, about 5 years ago, I developed an allergy to it :sad: . Not terrible, but it makes my throat itch. If I'm really craving some, I'll have it, but it makes me nervous.
