Spicy Eggplant Chickpea Stew One-Pot Ingredients

How to Make Spicy Eggplant Chickpea Stew

All ingredients should be diced, chopped, and measured before heating up your Dutch oven or similar large cooking pot.

Tip – Cut the eggeplant (aubergine) up last because it will turn brown while waiting to be added to the casserole

Using medium heat add the oil to your 4-5 quart (4 liters) or larger Dutch oven or flameproof casserole.

Add the onion, spices salt, and pepper.

Fry using medium heat for five minutes or until the onion is soft.

Add the garlic red pepper eggplant (aubergines) and fry for a further five minutes until the pepper and eggplant begin to soften.

Stir in the chickpeas, tomatoes, and stock. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer covered for 30 minutes.

Tip – Stir occasionally with a flat edge utensil, like a wooden spoon, turning gently ensuring the casserole does not stick to the bottom of the Dutch oven.

 Add the cabbage to the pot cover and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still bright green.

Tip – The cabbage keeps its vibrant color when added in the last 10 minutes of any dish 

Taste and adjust the seasoning to taste adding salt and pepper before serving.

Serving immediately with your choice of accompaniment.
