Did the eggplant bring much flavor or just textural attributes?
Was the skin any issue or did you remove it before adding to the meat mixture?

Oh... Good point :) I removed the skin before mashing the eggplant. I left it on to hold the slices together while cooking. You want the eggplant very soft so it mashes easily. I was able to peel the skin off of the middle slices and used a spoon to scoop the meat our of the end ones.
I'm not sure that you really taste the eggplant. It doesn't have a lot of flavor to begin with. But, it helps make the mixture very moist and gives it a nice texture.
