Eggplant ideas

[helicase]

We are inundated with eggplant from our CSA.  We don't normally cook with eggplant, so I have no ideas about how to prepare it.  Help?

And, while you're at it, any ideas for zucchini?  Already made zucchini bread and grilled zucchini. 

Bonus points if you know of a dish that uses zucchini AND eggplant.

We just made homemade pizza with eggplant and zucchini on it.

I used to buy a lot from the farmers market when it looked good and slice it thing and fry it. Great to snack on and easy to garnish with a bunch of different things since eggplant is so versatile.

Chinese fish-flavored eggplant! appetiteforchina.com/recipes/spicy-sichuan-eggplant-fish-fragrant-eggplant/ It doesn't taste like fish; it's named that way because they used the same spices as for fish.

For zucchini, I often slice it and sauté it with garlic and stewed tomatoes.

Ratatouille
Also, you can slice paper thin, season and dehydrate in the oven and the eggplant gets kind of crunchy like chips (but not like chips because, well, it is eggplant. Still delicious, though)

For the zucchini. I made these the other day and they were a hit.

I've been getting a lot of eggplant too. I've been using it to make Middle Eastern dips and we all loved these Baked Eggplant Sandwiches

I do eggplant boats with lots of veggies (including zucchini) or zucchini boats with eggplant stuffing.

I also just throw eggplants and zucchini in a pan with some olive oil and whatever veggies I have and cook it until they are nice and browned/slightly softened.

Eggplants and zucchinis are my go-to veggies most night.
