This eggplant dish is perfect as a side, but with a topping of crispy chickpeas, it can easily turn into a full meal. It's simple to make, and the eggplant melts into its natural texture, becoming all rich and sliceable. Calabrian chili butter melts into a thick and rich sauce that takes only a few ingredients and a few minutes to make. It's one of my favorite ways to use all the huge eggplant I pick up during late summer!
