I love eating eggplant! Especially eggplant parmesean. 
I have always wanted to try eggplant parmesean. Is it hard to make?
Not really. Eggplant is fairly easy to cook with. It's also popular in Israeli cuisine!
I didn't know that. What other dishes do you use eggplant in?
You can use it in salads and appetizers. One of my favorite eggplant dishes is baba ghanoush.
I have heard of baba ghanoush, but I never knew what was in it.
It's made from cooked eggplant mixed with tahina, olive oil, and seasonings. It goes well with pita bread!
Oh, sounds good. I like tahini in hummus.
Hummus
Hummus (, ; , 'chickpeas'; full Arabic name: "ḥummuṣ bi-ṭaḥini" , 'chickpeas in tahini') is a Levantine dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas or other beans, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and garlic. It is popular in the Middle East and Mediterranean, as well as in Middle Eastern cuisine around the globe. It can also be found in most grocery stores in North America and Europe.
Etymology and spelling.
Israeli eggplant salad
Israeli eggplant salad (salat ḥatzilim) is an eggplant salad. Unlike the well known baba ghanoush, it is made with fried or grilled eggplants mixed with mayonnaise, salt, lemon and chopped fried onions. It is usually topped with olive oil when served.
