Add the can of chopped tomatoes, the drained chickpeas, the cinnamon stick and cumin seeds and mix it all together gently. Add the stock and let it stew on a low heat for 20 minutes with the lid on.
2. Add the eggplant and raisins and stew it with the lid on for another 15 minutes.rnWhen all the vegetables are cooked, taste and season it with salt an pepper to your preferences.rnServe in bowls and sprinkle the cilantro on top.
3. I served it with my flatbread, but I'm sure it will be great with store bought pita-bread, couscous or rice. Now all you have to do is hope you can enjoy it in your garden too!
