I love to prepare stews because I love to transform simple ingredients into mindblowing dishes like my Chickpea Stew, Ital Stew, and my Eggplant Rundown.
Of lately the weather is very temperamental, one day it is very cold with threats of freezing temperatures and the next we are in the 80’s. Today while we are enjoying relatively warm and sunny weather here in Florida, in the Northeast USA they are under a heavy snowstorm.
This Vegan Eggplant Stew is dedicated to all my readers experiencing the cold weather. I decided to make a Caribbean Eggplant Stew that is hearty comforting, warming and a flavor bomb!
This Eggplant Stew recipe is extremely easy and cheap to prepare and so delicious. I made a large pot of stew and had leftovers after serving it for dinner. This summer if you are planning to plant a vegetable garden, please include eggplants so you can make some of my delicious eggplant recipes:

I enjoy eggplant and this recipe was simple using spices all ready on my spice rack. It smells delightful and the family enjoyed it. The request was made to add to our weekly menu. I did not use butter beans, I used chick peas (Garbanzos) and it was still delicious. Thank you for sharing these recipes.
Kaytee, I’m so happy you enjoyed this eggplant recipe and I love how you made it your own. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I’m happy you and your family enjoyed it, thank you for sharing your feedback.
Michelle, thanks for this recipe. there are never good uses of eggplants around for my money.
question: you used dry beans. don’t they have to be soaked overnight before you can add them to stew? wouldn’t they still be uncooked otherwise?
thanks in advance
patty from philly
p.s haven’t made recipe yet.
Hello Patty, I used canned chickpeas for this recipe however you can soak dried chickpeas overnight then cook until tender in water before adding them to the stew. I hope you enjoy.

I would like to make this… how much cups of beans if I am going to use dry lima beans…thanks
Hello Philly, I was thinking about you last night that I haven’t seen any recent comments from you. Happy to hear from you, about 3/4 cup of dry beans will work fine. Hope you enjoy!
