MOROCCAN CHICKPEA AND EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) STEW
Found this on another recipe website when I was searching for chickpea recipes. Love this - make it regularly and have passed it on to numerous friends and family. Is gluten-free if served on rice. Only requires 1 fresh ingredient (my basic criteria) and can be sized up and frozen with great success. It seems very similar to Ciao's #66380 which I will have to try soon.

Steps:
- Cut off the ends of the eggplant, than chop into ¾" cubes. I salted an eggplant once just for fun, but with fresh eggplant just don't find it necessary!
- Chop the onion roughly.
- Mince the garlic.
- Coat a large deep-sided frypan with olive oil. and heat over a medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic, onion, chili powder, cumin and cinnamon. Stir well to coat evenly. Cook until the onions have softened (approx. 4-5 minutes).
- Add the eggplant, tomatoes and chickpeas, along with the stock. Simmer over medium-low heat, covered, for fifteen-twenty minutes (until the eggplant is tender).
- Uncover and stir. If the stew looks very soupy, let the liquid bubble away for a few more minutes.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve over rice / pasta / cous cous / even toast would be yummy.
- The qty of spice listed make it moderately hot - good for a taste explosion for someone not used to spices. I normally double them as I like things really spicy!

Steps:
- Place a flameproof casserole or other large, wide pan over medium heat, and heat oil. Add onion, and sauté until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic, coriander, cumin, paprika and salt.
- Add eggplant and stir until well-coated with oil and spices and beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add wine, and bring mixture to a simmer. Add tomatoes and chickpeas and stir well. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to as low as possible. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes.
- Allow stew to cool a bit, then serve warm, rather than piping hot. If desired, serve as a side dish with herbed and butterflied leg of lamb.
