Instructions

Drain and season the chickpeas, then braise them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 7 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and eggplant, cooking until softened, about 7 minutes.

Stir in the tzatziki, olive oil, feta cheese and oregano for a final minute.

Cook the rice pilaf separately according to package directions.

Let everything simmer for about 11 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the rice pilaf, garnished with fresh herbs.
