Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, minced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 eggplants, cut into chunks
1 red chile pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, lightly crushed
1 teaspoon saffron threads
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups drained and rinsed canned chickpeas
½ cup pitted large green olives
½ cup basmati rice
1 thin-skinned lemon, thinly sliced
2 ½ cups vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions and garlic in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in eggplant, red chile pepper, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, saffron, and salt; cook until eggplant starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
