I like to roast it in the oven at 350-degrees for about 45 minutes (till soft). I let it cool, then peel it and run it in a food processor with a chopped red onion, fresh parsley, garlic, salt and pepper, lemon juice and either olive oil or tahini. It makes a great spread or dip.
Also, slice it, brush with a little olive oil and broil or grill it.
Eggplant is one of my favorites! Pureed it makes good dips or spreads (baba ganoush). Eggplant parmesan (the non-breaded, non-fried version). I use it instead of noodles in lasagna. In the summer, we make ratatouille often.
thank you Schmoodle, I love the Mexican one, I may add black beans to it.
