Servings: 8
Had an eggplant (which I never cook with) and some miscellaneous squash in the fridge. Wanted to make the vegetable stew I had enjoyed so often in Egypt but all the recipes I could find were too much like Greek mousaka (layers, white sauce etc.) so I experimented and came up with this.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 large onion
4 teaspoons ground cumin
4 teaspoons ground coriander
1 eggplant
2 zucchini
1 pattypan squash
1 red pepper
2 large potatoes
2 (19 ounce) cans chickpeas
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
Directions:
1. preheat oven to 325°F.
2. cut vegetables into 1 inch pieces.
3. heat oil.
4. cook garlic just until browned (do not overcook!).
5. add onion & spices, stir, cook until tender.
6. add vegetables, potatoes & chickpeas, stir to coat.
7. transfer to deep, covered baking dish, add tomatoes and stir to combine.
8. cover and bake on middle rack for 1-1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
9. serve alone or on brown rice.
