Does anyone know any good recipes for eggplant? I have heard that you can make them stuffed, roasted, and you can also make "ekra" (veggie mix) with them, but I don't have recipes for it.

Here is a simple recipe for Roasted Eggplant and Olive Spread - it is really delicious and as you can see, needs only a few ingredients.
