Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

350 g brinjal, cubed
1 onion, finely chopped
4 T olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 garlic cloves, crushed
½ t dried oregano
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
250 ml good-quality vegetable stock
1 x 400 g chickpeas can, drained and rinsed
