1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes, with juice, pulsed to a coarse purée
1 teaspoon mild honey (more to taste)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, to taste
Salt to taste
1 large or 2 medium eggplants (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices
3 cups cooked chickpeas (2 cans, drained and rinsed, or, 1 1/2 cups dried - about 3/4 pound
4 ounces feta, crumbled (3/4 cup

Steps:

Categories     Beans

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 eggplant, peeled if desired, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced 1/2-inch thick (1 lb.)
salt, to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, sliced thin across the grain
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced (to taste)
1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pinch sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
1 sprig basil
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
3 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
1 -2 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup pine nuts or 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Step 1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and brush the foil with olive oil. Place the eggplant slices on the foil, sprinkle with salt and brush each slice lightly with oil. Place in the oven for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the heat, and carefully fold the foil in half over the eggplant. Crimp the edges together, so that the eggplant is sealed inside the foil and will continue to steam and soften. Leave for at least 15 minutes.
  • Step 2 Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about five minutes, and add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about a minute. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, cinnamon, basil and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer, and simmer uncovered, stirring often, for 20 to 25 minutes, until the sauce is thick and fragrant. Add freshly ground pepper, then taste and adjust salt. Remove the basil sprig, and stir in the drained chickpeas.
  • Step 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 2¬quart baking dish or gratin. Cover the bottom with thin layer of tomato sauce, and make a layer of half the eggplant. Spoon half the remaining sauce over the eggplant, and repeat the layers.
  • Step 4 Bake 30 minutes, until bubbling. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle on the parsley before serving.

ROASTED EGGPLANT WITH SPICED CHICKPEAS



Roasted Eggplant With Spiced Chickpeas image

Eggplant is a staple in the Arab world, the source of the dish called moussaq'a, a classic (and vegan to boot, if you leave off the yogurt). The key to cooking eggplant is to do it with high heat that concentrates the flavor and the flesh.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large eggplants, peeled and sliced lengthwise (about 1/2 inch thick)
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for pans
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 onion, minced
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
Sugar to taste
Salt and black pepper
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Thick yogurt for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees and lightly oil two baking sheets (or use nonstick). Combine the 1/4 cup olive oil and the peanut oil. Brush eggplant slices on both sides with the mixture, then place on pans. Roast, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides, about 15 minutes total. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, spices and molasses, and bring to a simmer. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste. (The amount of sugar will depend on the tomatoes' sweetness; there should be a hint of sweetness in the mixture.) Simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Add chickpeas and cook until thick, 5 to 10 minutes more. Stir in half the pine nuts and set aside.
  • To serve, place a slice of eggplant on a platter and spoon tomato-chickpea mixture onto the wide end of the slice. Fold the narrower end of the slice over to cover the filling and place a mint leaf on top. Repeat with remaining slices and garnish with remaining pine nuts. Serve cold or at room temperature, topping each piece with a dollop of yogurt, if using.
