Okra & Eggplant Recipes

First, I have never liked either okra & eggplant. But I'm going to give both of these veggies a try in my garden this year. The only way I've ever eaten them is the way my Mom fixed them: cooked down to mush with ham & seasonings added.

I've looked at a lot of recipes & for okra, most of them are for frying them or including them in soups/gumbo. Eggplant Parmesan looks interesting & I'll give that a try.

What are some other recipes for someone who hates okra & eggplant?
