chickpeas, cinnamon, cumin, eggplant, garlic, paprika, red bell pepper, red onions, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, turmeric

This is colorful and extremely tasty dish. It’s a great way to use a variety of summer or winter vegetables. This time I supplemented vegetables from the farmers’ market with an eggplant and red bell pepper from Whole Foods, but you can add carrots, celeriac, turnips and other root vegetables. Serve over couscous with Tzatsiki and Lamb Meatballs (note: use the lamb skewer recipe, but form the lamb mixture into small balls and cook on the stove top in a saute pan over medium-high heat). If you want a vegetarian meal, serve over couscous topped with toasted almonds or pinenuts, raisins and grated feta cheese. (*Indicates produce purchased at Dupont Circle Farmers’ Market.)

Recipe adapted from Moosewood Restaurant New Classics.
