re: Is there a dish you just can't get right?

Eggplant. It always comes out too raw, no matter how long I cook it. I've tried eggplant dressing, ratatouille, sauteed eggplant. Recently, I found these beautiful baby eggplants at an Indian market that I stuffed with seasonings - turned out awful.
The one time I made eggplant right was when I did baba ganoush and cooked the thing to death on a grill.
