Cut eggplant in half.
Peeling the eggplant. Place the now flat side of the eggplant down on the cutting board and make a series of shallow slices down following the contour of the eggplant. Stay as close to the skin as possible when making cuts. Work all the way around until it is completely peeled.
One the eggplant has been peeled, cut straight down the middle. Then cut each half in half again.
