Ittiz beyond me why ANYONE would want to bastardize such a wunnerful thing
as eggplant (close relative to our El Grande) in a chili. But whom am I to
say????
If it t'were moi, besides the lucious (lush's???) frying o'same, roast the
baby!
Cut the eggplant into thick slices - 1-3" - dip in oil, and toss on a good
hot grilling grate. Cook/roast/smoke until the center o'the slices are
semi-soft. Serve slathered in butter, blue cheese, any cheese, salsa, etc.
Or just plain, and go To Heaven!
Anudder way, cut eggplant in 1/2. Slather 1/2s with oil/butter/bacon
grease, and bake until centers are soft. Serve as above, or dig out guts
and make "cavier"... Need to find the recipe. Then use the left over
"boats" for filling with... chili? That would be nice! And serve the
cavier on the side.

deepfried eggplant is deeeee-lish assuming one ain't afraid of fried
foods, and the process is fairly simple too. In a nutshell:
