I have half a tin of chickpeas and half an aubergine left over from the cous cous I had the other night.

Any ideas on how to use them up?

Make a ratatouille with it?

ie Fry onion, garlic, add some chilli flakes, next cube the aubergines and fry in the mixture. Add the chickpeas, half a tin of tomatoes, some tomato puree. Season and let it simmer for about 20 mins. Serve with flat bread or rice and a green salad.

I would perhaps use them as healthy snacks. I often roast tinned chickpeas with a bit of olive oil until crunchy, they are a great alternative to nuts.

You could thinly slice the aubergine with a potato peeler and roast to make crisps. Could even add a bit of parmesan to them if you have it.

Baba ganoush? Chick peas aren't an original ingredient, but would go well mixed in with it.

Aubergine, roughly diced
Red or white wine if you have
Cup of water
Chickpeas drained
Chopped tomatoes
˝tsp ground cinnamon
1 Pepers, any colour
Coriander leaves, chopped

Flat bread and plain yoghurt, to serve

Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onion, garlic and aubergine for about 10 minutes until softened.

Stir in the wine, water, chickpeas, tomatoes, cinnamon, and season with salt and pepper.

Bring to a simmer and let it bubble away for about 10 minutes. stir in the coriander. serve in bowls, with warm flatbread and a spoonful of yoghurt on the side.
