This is a great recipe. I made it for dinner on Saturday and loved it. The leftovers taste even better the second day.

Ingredients


    extra virgin olive oil
    1 onion chopped
    2 cloves garlic finely chopped
    1 red pepper chopped
    1 eggplant chopped in 1/2 inch cubes
    1 zucchini chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
    1/2 cup vegetable stock
    1 14 oz can chopped tomatoes
    1 tablespoon tomato paste
    1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
    10 green olives halved
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
    1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
    1 teaspoon flat leaf parsley

Put a couple of splashes of olive oil in a pot and saute the onion until it’s translucent. Add the garlic and the chopped vegetables. Let that cook for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Add spices and stir for a couple of minutes. Add the stock, tomatoes, tomato paste, lemon zest, chickpeas and olives. Bring the mixture to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes. Add lemon juice and parsley and serve with couscous.
