Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Mix dried mushrooms and hot water in a bowl.

Stir well and allow to stand for 30 to 40 minutes.

Strain through a sieve lined with a kitchen paper towel and set the liquid aside.

Finely chop the mushrooms.

Meanwhile, peel eggplants, if needed, and cut in half lengthwise.

Brush the cut sides liberally with ½ tablespoons oil.

Arrange on a baking sheet, cut-side down, and roast until tender, 24 to 26minutes.

Allow to stand until cool enough to handle.

Cut into 1-inch cubes and add to a large slow cooker (crock-pot).

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Stir in onions and cook, stirring constantly, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes.

Stir in garlic, oregano, cinnamon stick, salt, pepper, bay leaf and the chopped mushrooms, cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes.

Pour in the reserved mushroom-soaking liquid and chickpeas.

Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, for about 6 minutes.

Stir into the slow cooker and stir to mix with the eggplant.

Cover and cook until the chickpeas are very tender, about 8 hours on Low.

Remove cinnamon stick and bay leaf.

Stir in tomatoes and parsley.

Serve warm or refrigerate until ready to use.
