7 Ingredient Mediterranean Eggplant Stew [vegan]

This Mediterranean Eggplant Stew is THE healthy dish in every Albanian family. Here we have a certain way of making this recipe so I am sharing our version.

It is rich in vegetables and it can also keep you full during the day. This is perfect for meal prep or to take it with you to work or school.

Funny story, when I and my sister were little, she used to pretend she was asleep when my mom called us to eat this eggplant stew. Now that she lives abroad one of the recipes she misses more is this stew.

This Mediterranean Eggplant Stew is flavorful and plant based.

It is so easy to make this stew. It takes only 30 minutes and 7 main ingredients (not including salt, pepper, and water) to make it.

It is best combined with rye bread or as is. You can top it with fresh parsley and green chili.

This is the winter version of the Mediterranean Eggplant Stew. During summer instead of potatoes, we like to add okra. I love both versions so much.
