Preparation

Step 1

Makes 6 to 8 servings

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Put onion, carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, eggplant, chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne and sea salt in a large mixing bowl. Toss to combine.

Put the vegetable mixture into a 5 to 6 quart casserole. Pour the vegetable broth over the top. Cover and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. As the stew cooks, check it every ½ hour. If stew becomes dry, add ¼ to cup more vegetable broth, or more, as needed.
