I once stuffed some roasted baby eggplants with ground lamb; I believe the lamb was cooked with oregano, lemon juice, maybe some paprika? If you Google "Roasted eggplant stuffed with lamb" lots of pretty good-looking recipes turn up. My dinner guests that night really liked the food, so I'd recommend it on that basis. (Unfortunately, that night confirmed for me that I actually hate lamb, so I never made that recipe again.) I served the eggplants with some baked potato wedges--I microwaved the potatoes for a couple of minutes just to start them cooking, then wedged them, rubbed them with olive oil, and roasted in a glass pan for about half an hour (if memory serves) until fork-tender. Then I sprinkled them with a little oregano, basil, salt & pepper, squirted a little lemon juice over them, and gave them another 10 min or so in the oven. Those were quite nice, and I still make them--or variations of them--fairly regularly. Did you ever see all those soup recipes I wrote out for you, btw?
