- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 large aubergine cut into cubes (peel on)

This vegetarian dish goes well with lamb should you have carnivorous tastes! It improves with age so will be good the next day too.
Fry the garlic, onion and red pepper in a little olive oil until lightly browned. Add all the spices and the tinned (or fresh) tomatoes. In a separate pan, heat some olive oil until very hot and add the cubed aubergine. Cook for a few minutes until nicely browned and then drain off any oil and add to tomato and spice mix. Add the chickpeas and simmer for half an hour. Serve with brown rice or quinoa & a green salad.
