How do I fix this Purple Thing?

I hope you find something that you like

I''d suggest that you bake it, & don't fry it, as it will absorb lots and lots of fat if you do.

I like it chopped into chunks & baked with halved or quartered onions, halved tomatoes, chunks of sweet peppers (red, yellow, green or a mixture) and chunky courgette pieces (AKA zuccini if you're in the US). Spray lightly with a little cooking oil spray or mix the chunky veg bits with a little oil (turn over in a big bowl to coat lightly), then sprinkle with crushed garlic, ground black pepper & a little salt & bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or so.

Nice! I like this hot or cold, so don't worry if you end up with too much for one meal - pop the leftovers in the fridge, it's good for several.

Personally I hate eggplant... mushy, seedy, blech. But here's a recipe I plan to try one of these days.

**Edit... My sister is a vegetarian. She grills eggplant along with some other veggies, usually red peppers, onions, and makes a sandwich.
