Re: egplant
ratatouille! :)
but also the hubs' family makes this fantastic dip out of eggplant... it called "vienneta" slice big eggplants in half and place on bbq until roasted. then remove the flesh from the skin, and using one of those hand blenders, mush it up. add mayo and a bit of salt and it makes this amazing spread! it tastes really good on bread.
if you dont have a bbq or its not bbq season yet, you can also put the eggplants on a big baking dish (depending on eggplant size) and put them in the oven at 400.
