Eggplant recipe, without using breadcrumbs

Hi,
I am looking for a eggplant recipe, side or main dish, without using breadcrumbs or dairy products.
May something with tomato sauce...

Any ideas?

TIA

I made this for Pesach this year and put it on top of spaghetti squash -- it was really good!

1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 big eggplant or two medium ones, peeled lengthwise in stripes
1 zucchini, diced
1 potato, diced
2 tbsp pepper paste or tomato paste
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tomatoes, grated or 1 can of diced tomato processed in a blender
1/3 cup water or vegetable stock
1/3 cup parsley, chopped
salt
black pepper
pepper flakes

-Saute onions, garlic, and eggplant with olive oil on medium heat for 15 minutes.
-Add tomato/pepper paste, stir for 1-2 minutes.
-Add the rest of the ingredients except parsley. Cover and cook on low for 40-45 minutes.
-Sprinkle parley on top a minute or two before you turn it off.

Jamie Geller has a nice recipe in her cookbook "Quick and Kosher"

1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/2 teaspoon garlic power or 1 teaspoon prepared crushed garlic
1/4 teaspoon crumbled, dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 450-F. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a bowl.
Add eggplant slices, toss to coat.
Place eggplant in one layer on prepared cookie sheet.
Sprinkle evenly with garlic, oregano, paprika and salt.

Bake uncovered, at 450-F for 10-12 minutes, or until softened.
Serve hot or at room temp.

Side note:
There's a Mediterranean restaurant near me that serves these delicious eggplant rolls. I think if you were to cut these slices just a little thinner than the 1/2 inch they call for, you can then make some kind of garlicky dip or humous or something tomatoey, etc, and roll it up in the middle. So good!
