Eggplants are normally pretty tough creatures, you will need to soften this puppy up. First take a knife to it and remove the top green part and flatten the bottom. This will make peeling it easier. Peel the eggplant and then chop patties out of it in ~1.65" intervals.

Now to tenderize the eggplants flesh you need to sweat these slices. Lay the slices down and sprinkle some salt on them and let them sit for ~15 mins. You can make the topping while the water is pulled from the plant.

This link will give you more information about the health benefits and the ways to prepare eggplants.
