1 Soak the chickpeas overnight and boil them in unsalted water for 2 hours.
2 Cut the aubergines into large cubes.
3 Finely chop the onion, grate the garlic or crush it with a garlic press.
4 Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan, sauté the onion, garlic, cinnamon, chilli and cumin in it and stew for 4-5 minutes over a medium heat until the onion softens.
5 Add the chickpeas, aubergines, tomatoes and vegetable bouillon to the pan. Cover and simmer over a low heat for about 15-20 minutes, checking that the aubergines are cooked.
