Aubergine & Chickpea Vegan Bake
So, I am another year older 😀 and have spent almost the whole week being spoilt one way or another! I’ve seen friends, eaten out, been to my parents, had presents, cake, chocolate, been shopping and even been to the park! 😀 Have a look…
- Gorgeous bowl 🙂
- 🙂 Thank you 🙂
- vegan cheesy nachos
- Chocolate cherries

- Tapas time… FOUR of EACH!!! 😀
- Love this colour
- this bottle will look lovely with oil & balsamic
Anyway, the recipe which I am sharing today is inspired by two dishes from Linda at LaPetitePaniere. Firstly Yemma Aouicha, which I discovered while searching for a chickpea recipe and secondly Batata Koucha. We were having friends around for dinner and alongside the meat dishes, I wanted (& needed) something deliciously vegetarian. As often happens when someone posts a comment, I go and see what they’re cooking (or talking about) and I found a whole stash of lovely Algerian dishes! 🙂 I’m sure one day I will copy the recipes in their entirety, but as I didn’t have all of the ingredients and I needed to use up a few other things, this gorgeous dish was created!
As much as we love both aubergine and chickpeas, I don’t think we’ve ever paired them together in the same dish! Add in some rice and top with potatoes (there’s not a lot of each if you’re worried about two carbs in one dish)! and you have a delicious one-pot hearty meal! 🙂 Just writing this is making me want to make another dish of this… it didn’t last long in our house!

Belated birthday wishes 🙂 Sounds like you had great fun!
I have a rice recipe coming up that uses aubergines and chickpeas too – more of Indian style however 🙂 This looks lovely!
Thank you 🙂 I did have a great few days 🙂 Looking forward to your recipe – they pair so well together 🙂
You certainly did get spoilt! So my non birthday greeting wouldn’t have been missed…..anyhow Aubergines and chick peas what is there not to say? A great combination, one full of goodness and taste!
🙂 Didn’t I just! 😛 Lovely to see you over here & on facebook too! 🙂 I might make it for lunch one day (when we get back to it)! 😀 Yumyum. See you soon x
Happy belated Birthday!! Looks like you’ve had a great time 🙂
I love Linda from La Petite Paniere, she’s a lovely lady with a wonderful blog, and great recipes.
Aubergines + chickpeas = yum!!!! (I am bit stunned you haven’t paired them before??)
Thank you Elaine 🙂 and yes, I had a lovely time thank you! Yes, Linda is great (thanks to you again as I found her blog when co-hosting FF) and her recipes are delicious 🙂 Some things are obvious to some people 😛 Chickpeas are our go to ‘fastfood’! so they’re often just thrown in a pan last minute! Aubergines – well, we don’t have a great market like you do and they often cost (UK) £1.50 each! so we like to savour them on their own! We’ll definitely be pairing them up more now! 😀 x
OMG! Why are they so expensive?? Isn’t it mad, we live in the same country, you’d think we’d have the same things available to us at similar prices!
I guess where we live it’s still a bit of an ‘exotic vegetable’ still only known for moussaka 😛 I was given an aubergine plant but all of this torrential rain has killed it off 🙁 Oh well… I’ll keep hunting for cheaper ones! 😀
Happy Birthday Laurena, I’m sure you had a great time. Thank you so much for the shout-out and also for your quick feedback. Looks super delicious. Thanks again and have a wonderful day! 🙂 xx
Thanks Linda 😀 Super delicious indeed – thank you so much! 🙂 I need to buy some more aubergines now as I ‘need’ to eat this again! 😛 xx
😀 Have a superb weekend! 🙂 xx
I did 🙂 Hope you did too x
Thank you for sharing your post with everyone at this week’s Fiesta Friday xx

Delish! Right up my alley.
Thank you Tracey 🙂 I hope you get around to trying it 🙂
I put it on the list of new recipe to try.
🙂 thank you.
This is the sort of dinner that we eat often. Sometimes, I add smoked tofu, tempeh or fish on the side! Yummmm!
A Happy beltaed Birthday to you, my dear friend! Hip Hip Hoeray! xxxx
Thank you Sophie 😀
How delicious… I might try adding my new favourite tofu (recipe coming soon)! Hope you’re well and your allotment is providing plenty 🙂 xxx
I am well & I just worked 4 hours in my allotment this morning! I was already there at 8.45 am till 1 pm.
🙂 Ooo that’s early Sophie! We’ve had so much rain it’s most definitely saved on the watering… just lots of weeds 🙁 but at least everything is growing fast now! 😀
That is also true! x
