  3. Meanwhile, in a medium flameproof, ovenproof casserole dish, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and capsicums, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until onions are golden brown. Add garlic, cumin, mint, paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Cook,stirring frequently for 1 minute or until fragrant.
  4. Stir in eggplant, chickpeas, tomatoes, stock, tomato paste, harissa, and season with salt, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan. Bring to the boil over high heat. Simmer for 10 minutes or until flavours blend. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

TIP: For a version of shakshuka for breakfast, place leftovers into small ovenproof dishes. Crack an egg (not vegan) or two on top, and bake in a moderate oven until the eggs just set.
