Egg plant is great because it takes on flavors like a sponge. It doesn't taste like much on it's own.
My favorite meal with it is to prepare it like you would for an eggplant parm. Then to nestle a layer of it into a baked ziti.
It's great in chinese dishes if you have found a decent substitute for soy sauce.
grilled eggplant slices with tomatoes makes a nice, clean and simple quick pasta dressing with a bit of garlic and red pepper flakes.
