Eggplant or aubergine is one of my favorite nightshades. From a creativity perspective, what I find fun about eggplant is that you can mush it up like in Baba Ganoush, dice and cube it up to mix with meats like ground turkey, or cut thin slices of large eggplant and use them as wraps or mini taco-like shells. The eggplant is definitely not a boring food!
