Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Eggplant

Wash and cut the eggplant into cubes. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture, then rinse and pat dry.

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3

Add Eggplant

Add the eggplant cubes to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is tender.

4

Incorporate Chickpeas and Spices

Add the canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed), cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes.

5

Finish and Serve

Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice. Serve warm.
