One of my favorites is portobello burgers. Rachel Ray has a great recipe that includes a roasted bell pepper sauce and (melted) smoked mozzarella. :drool The great thing about it is it is a really quick recipe to whip up -- the sauce you can make ahead and then you just have to quickly marinate the portobellos and dress up the burgers.

ETA: Oh and you grill the portobellos, or you can pan sear them.

There is a great eggplant recipe in Joy of Vegetarian Cooking.
You take lengthwise slices of eggplant and warm them in a pan until they are floppy and cooked through.
Then you take a cheese stuffing (I use parm, provolone, and ricotta plus whatever fresh herbs and garlic) and roll a slice of eggplant around a little ball of cheese.

Bake the whole business until browned and drizzle with marinara sauce.

Great with vinaigrette salad on the side.

Here's a Paneer butter masala I made awhile back. It rocks.
