Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large aubergines (eggplants)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 red bell peppers
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large carrot
- 2 cups canned chopped tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Dice the aubergines into bite-sized cubes. Slice the onion and chop the garlic finely. Cut the red bell peppers and zucchini into thin slices, and slice the carrot into rounds.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
Add the red bell peppers, zucchini, and carrot, and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the aubergines, chopped tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Mix well.
Add the tomato paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, and bay leaf. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Season the stew with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, remove the bay leaf and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Garnish the stew with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot, ideally with bread or a side of your choice for a complete meal. Enjoy your Sugar-Free Hearty Aubergine Stew!
