Spices that complement eggplant include allspice, basil, bay leaves, garlic, chili powder, oregano, sage, thyme, marjoram, and parsley. And it’s a natural combination with tomatoes and onions, as in the popular dish Ratatouille. Ratatouille is usually served as a side dish, but also may be served as a meal on its own.
