Nasu Dengaku ... you can google for variants if you like more or less sweet and different kinds of miso.

This is on my to-make list: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/falafel-stuffed-eggplant-50400000121406/

They suck up marinade so I also like to just cut them in half, marinate them, and then grill them.

Witchy has some fabulous eggplant recipes...she'll be by soon, I'm sure.

I use it in place of regular eggplant in recipes, more tender and less bitter, very little seeds, cooks faster. Fat free vegan blog has n eggplant quinoa burger tht is good as well as an  eggplant creole casserole I like.

i typically slice japanese eggplant in halves or quarters and grill or stirfry. 

i have also tossed them w/oil and baked them with tomatoes, onions, olives, raisins, some ground lamb, and some stock - very tasty.

What did you end up doing with all your eggplants? :D I thought of you when I walked by the big bag at Costco this weekend.

Can't wait for eggplant growing season! Our crop was amazing last year.
One of my favorite ways to prepare it (along with our other garden veggies) is in a ratatouille. Mmmmmm....


Not sure if we are doing the Japanese variety this year.
