Lamb Stew with Eggplant and Chickpeas

An abundance of fresh herbs and spices for my inspired Lamb Stew with Eggplant and Chickpeas. Lamb is a versatile meat that can be cooked anytime during the year and for any occasion. Instead of cooking meat with potatoes to get that creamy texture, add chickpeas.

Chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans. As one of the oldest consumed crops in the world, chickpeas have many health benefits. Chickpeas. Chickpeas can boost digestion, increase protection against diseases and can keep your blood sugar levels stable.

Adding potatoes to a meat dish should not be the only option. Adding more legumes such as Garbanzo beans or chickpeas to any meat dish is considered comfort food. The vegetables or legumes also add more flavor to any meat or poultry dish.

I decided to add eggplant for an added boost of healthiness and to keep the texture of the dish. Boneless lamb shoulder meat is best to use if you want a meaty meal.

This dish is best served with rice or any other grain dish you prefer. Just remember that the smaller the lamb pieces are, the quicker they will cook.
