Instructions
1 Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and set over high heat. Add eggplant and cook, stirring, for 3—4 minutes, or until golden. Remove and set aside.
2 Return pan to a medium heat. Add oil, onion and celery and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add courgette, garlic and oregano, and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, or until just softened.
3 Add tomatoes, chickpeas, balsamic vinegar and water; bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Return eggplant to pan and simmer for a further 5 minutes until sauce thickens. Stir through parsley and season with pepper.
