One more recipe with eggplants
Armenian Lentil Soup with Eggplant and Apricots
Google and you'll get a bunch of sites. If I had a small eggplant handy, I would probably add it to generic vegetable soup.
A pizza place here has a great pizza with little cubes of eggplant, and halved cherry tomatoes, looking roasted on top of a pizza, great stuff. Probably garlic and no usual tomato sauce.
