Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. (1 minute)

02

Step

Add the chopped red onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

03

Step

Stir in the minced Italian parsley and garlic; cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the aromas to bloom.

04

Step

Add the coarsely shredded carrot and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

05

Step

Introduce the cubed eggplant and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned.

06

Step

Pour in the cooked chickpeas and halved cherry tomatoes.

07

Step

Add the vegetable broth, dried oregano, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper.

08

Step

Mix well and bring the stew to a boil.

09

Step

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the stew has thickened and the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add more broth if needed to achieve desired consistency.

10

Step

Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot with couscous, rice, pasta, or warm pita bread.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a splash of dry red wine during the sautéing process.
If you prefer a smoother stew, you can use an immersion blender to partially purée it before serving.
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an elegant presentation.
This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors meld and deepen. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
