I love that eggplant parm dish mentioned in the other thread. It's always so hard to find good recipes for eggplant. Here's another one that I really like:

Baba Ganoush (spicy eggplant dip)

1 big eggplant, baked with skin on until very tender
1 small, dried chili
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons sesame oil
10 almonds
juice of one lemon
small handful of parsley
S&P to taste
1 T olive oil for dressing

Slice eggplant in half and scrape the flesh away from the skin. Put the flesh into a food processor and add chili, garlic, sesame oil, almonds, lemon juice and parsley. Blend until very smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste, put in a bowl and dress with a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with chips or pitas.
