On a whim I bought an eggplant from the grocery section.
I'm an Eggplant virgin. Any great recipes?

I absolutely love this baked eggplant parmesan. A little bit time consuming but so delicious! Not super low cal (what with the cheese), but you can try subbing in with lower fat cheese. (I'll be honest and admit I haven't tried that yet).

AllRecipes has a great recipe for Ratatouille!! Yum! I love it0

Slice it, bake it, (brush with olive oil and bake at 350-400F). Then top with basil pesto, goat cheese and roasted red pepper. Delicious! And if you have some balsamic on hand ...then you could reduce it and drizzle a little over the top.0

slice the eggplant and put it in a frying pan with a little bit of olive oil. I usually put some spice on the eggplant too. cook it until tender and enjoy!0

Eggplants are so versatile! Peel and dice an eggplant, put on a baking sheet lined wth nonstick foil, spray with Pam, then bake at 425 till browned. You can add this to a stir-fry (I like mine with green peppers, onions, and tofu) with a garlic ginger sauce (oyster sauce, chicken broth, sriracha hot sauce, fresh garlic and ginger). Also delicious tossed with pasta and tomato sauce. For a side dish, saute some red onions in a little olive oil and toss with the baked eggplant and some fresh chopped herbs.0

Chicken Ratatouille
Ingredients
1 large eggplant
2 medium zucchini
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb cooked skinless chicken breasts, chopped
2 cans (14.5 oz each) stewed tomatoes
2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
First, cut the eggplant and zucchini into inch-long pieces.
Next, saute the onion and garlic in olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until tender.
Then add the chicken, eggplant, and tomatoes and bring everything to a simmer. Cover and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
After that’s done, add the zucchini and seasonings and simmer about 10-15 minutes, until veggies are tender.

i like to slice it thin, salt it, rinse it, egg it, bread it with cornmeal and sesame seeds, bake it until it crunches, and smear it with pesto.0

Slice very thin and use instead of noodles in vegetarian lasanga (use about half the sauce you normally would) SOooo good!0
