Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil

  • 14oz. (400g) can chopped tomatoes

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cut eggplant into a baking dish and drizzle with 1 tbsp. olive oil and season with salt. Cook in the oven for 40 minutes until soft.
  2. In the meantime, heat the remaining 1 tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  4. Next, add in the chopped tomatoes, vinegar, chickpeas, and cherry tomatoes. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and continue simmering until the eggplant is ready.
  5. Once the eggplant is soft, add into the tomato sauce and mix well. Serve with rice and chopped parsley.
