How to Prepare Braised Harissa Eggplant and Greens [Vegan]
- Heat 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots but not completely tender. Transfer the eggplant to a large bowl and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil to the pot. Add the onion and sauté until softened and translucent,3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, harissa, cumin, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the tomatoes, chickpeas, and eggplant and bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until the eggplant is meltingly tender and the tomatoes have broken down into a thick, chunky sauce, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Stir in the kale and cook until the leaves are bright green and tender, 2 to 3minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and season with additional salt and harissa, as needed, and serve.
