Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
- With a sharp knife, score a ring around each potato, just deep enough to break the skin. Place the potatoes in a medium pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 8 minutes, until about halfway cooked.
- Drain the potatoes, and rinse with cold water. Peel off the skin.
- Cut the potatoes into ½-inch (1 cm) pieces and set aside.
- Divide the eggplant and bell peppers between 2 baking sheets and spread in an even layer. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss with your hands to coat.
- Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until semi-translucent.
- Add the tomato paste and stir until well distributed, then add the garlic, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the potatoes, chickpeas, and tomatoes, and stir to incorporate.
- Stir in the vegetable broth and cover. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the roasted eggplant and bell pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the tomatoes have mostly broken down.
- Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve. Or, transfer the stew to resealable containers and store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freezer for up to 3 months.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- When selecting eggplants, choose ones that are firm, have a dark purple color, and feel heavy for their size. Avoid eggplants that are soft, bruised, or have brown spots.
- To prevent the eggplant from absorbing too much oil, salt the slices and let them rest for 30 minutes before cooking. This will draw out some of the moisture and make the eggplant less likely to become greasy.
- If you are using a slow cooker with a removable crock, brown the eggplant and other vegetables in a skillet before adding them to the crock. This will help to develop their flavor and give the stew a richer color.
- Add the tomatoes, broth, and spices to the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Serve the stew over rice, pasta, or quinoa. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Eggplant and tomato stew is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is easy to make, and the slow cooker does most of the work. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
