I don't want to fry it so as to avoid from oil. I may just grill it. I don't know if it can boil it and I don't know if it would taste great boiled or if anyone has does done that. So I would try to eat that and top that on my brown rice. I hope it would be such a wonderful meal tomorrow. I don't plan to cook a lot this week. I just want some simple meal with vegetables with no oil used as much as possible and no salt or any seasoning. I would just try squeeze some lemon or add any thing that would enhance the taste naturally.

Maybe because it's raining these days that's why I thought of eating eggplants

Boiling is not really suitable for eggplant. Roasting, grilling and frying are the best. I just spray (or brush) a very little oil on them when roasting them to stop the surface going leathery.
I have also roasted the eggplant whole, skinned it and combined the pureed flesh with tomatoes, onions, garlic and olive oil very much as this recipe: http://moroccanfood.about.com/od/saladsandsidedishes/r/Zaalouk_Recipe.htm
It makes an excellent dip to eat with flat bread (pita bread or naan or whatever kind of bread you use).
To reduce salt in a recipe, use winter savory or nigella seed. A pinch of sugar also helps to enhance the flavour of some things.

I would either grill or roast the eggplant. As another person said, boiling it will just make it terribly rubbery--definitely not the wonderful meal for which you are hoping.
You could also make eggplant parmigiana. Of course, that would take a number of other ingredients, and it would entail a bit more effort.

Boiling eggplants are possible, if you are into fish sauce. Some people situated in the provinces love to dip the boiled eggplant with tomatoes into a cup of fish sauce. It is like you are in the picnic along the side of the beach or river.
