Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoon olive oil, divided
2 large bell peppers (1 yellow & 1 red), seeds removed, diced
1 medium onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb. + 4 oz. grape tomatoes (2-10oz. tubs), cut in half
1 eggplant (about 1 lb), diced
2 medium zucchini (about 1 lb), diced
2 teaspoons thyme or herbs de Provence (or a bit of both)
a few fresh basil leaves (left whole or chopped)
mineral salt + pepper, to taste
pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
3 cups cooked chickpeas or 2 cans (15 oz) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed)

Steps:

  • Simmer (1): Add in eggplant, zucchini, herbs, spices, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to a low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • Simmer (2): Add in chickpeas, cover askew, and simmer anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your personal preference (less time for firmer vegetables, more time for softer vegetables and more juices). Stir occasionally until ready.
  • Serve topped with chopped fresh herbs. Pair it with a gluten-free or favorite artisan loaf of bread. I have it here with a wonderful olive loaf. Try serving it on a bed of quinoa, farro, rice or pasta to make it go further.
