The eggplant peel does not have to be removed. Young eggplant and some varieties have a thin skin that holds a lot of the nutritious value, so it can remain and be eaten as is. For thick-skinned eggplant, or if it's a personal preference, you can remove the peel. Leaving it on while cooking makes it easier to handle. Eggplant is the best kind of vegetable, which is to say, it's a multi-tasker that can take on many different and delicious forms and be incorporated into all kinds of recipes.
