That recipe sounds good! I suspect, as much as I love garlic, I may up the garlic a bit, LOL. I wonder if some tender whole green onions could also be included with the eggplant??

How big do these fruits usually get?
After much searching I managed to find out the original name of this as sold in Japan. It is ナス 長者 ('senior person' according to google). The seeds are actually more expensive there unfortunately. |

The 'Millionaire' are generally 7-8" long and about 2-2.5" wide at the beginning of the season. Once the heat of summer hits, they get progressively smaller. Right now they're about 5" long before they start losing their gloss.

Baba Ganoush Has been mentioned once in this thread. I feel it needs a little more exposure as one of the reasons egg plant exists. It is a very easy, very tasty eggplant dip made with baked or grilled eggplant, tahini; and a few spices. I love middle eastern dips like Hummus and Baba Ganoush. I can easily make a meal out of them with a few chips for dipping. I lost fifty lbs. a few years ago eating enough hummus to make me never look a chick pea in the eye again.

Steam eggplant, puree it, and freeze in small containers -- makes a GREAT tomato paste substitute! (Really! I was skeptical when I first heard about this, but, it's true, it's a great way to grow your own tomato paste without all the careful simmering of paste tomatoes for hours and hours...

Here's a fairly simple recipe which is one of the top things one can do with eggplant: http://www.ilboccatv.com/ricetta/melanzane-a-funghetto/
