Cooking Steps

Add the eggplant and cook
1

In a large pan heat the olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the red onion and the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the eggplant to the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side until golden and soft - you may need to add extra olive oil because of how thirsty eggplant tends to be!

Add the cumin
2

Add the cumin to the pan and stir for 1 minute or until fragrant. Now add the tomatoes, chickpeas, red wine vinegar, and the white wine, cover the pot with a lid and cook for 10 minutes or until the tomatoes have softened and everything has fused together. Season with salt and pepper along the way.

Cook the couscous
3

Place the couscous in a bowl and pour the boiling water over the couscous, stir with a fork, and then cover the bowl tightly with cling wrap, leave to sit for 5 minutes. Remove wrap and then begin to fluff the couscous with a fork. Season well with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle with fresh coriander
4

Divide the couscous and eggplant braise between bowls, top with a dollop of yoghurt and then garnish with a good sprinkle of fresh coriander and some lemon juice for a nice fresh taste. Enjoy!
