Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and dice the eggplant, green peppers, celery, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and drain the chickpeas if using canned.

  2. 2

    Cut the Meat

    Cut the beef or chicken into chunks, about 1.5 inches in size.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  2. 5

    Brown the Meat

    Add the beef or chicken chunks to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned on all sides.

  3. 6

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the diced eggplant, green peppers, chickpeas, tomato sauce, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

  4. 7

    Simmer

    Pour in the water, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

  5. 8

    Final Adjustments

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
