Recipe from Nutiva.com :

Coconut Eggplant

* 1 – 2 eggplants
* 3 Tbsp Nutiva Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
* 2 Tbsp Nutiva Shelled Hempseed

Directions:
Chop up fresh eggplant into cubes a bit wider than a french fry– and 2-3 inches long. Place in steamer for 10 minutes until the eggplant is slighly soft, but not over done.  Just before the steaming is done, heat up a sauce pan to medium heat with several Tbsp of Coconut Oil.

Place the steamed eggplant into the hot pan for 3-4 minutes, and add more coconut oil as the eggplant soaks up the oil.
Drop in tamari or soy sauce for an extra flavor edge.
Turn the pieces over with a spatula so the eggplant cooks evenly.

Serve in a bowl–top with a dash of sea salt and shelled hempseeds.
