Directions

Soak the chickpeas overnight, ideally for 8 hours, to prepare them for cooking the next morning.
To start, drain the soaked chickpeas and remove a few of their skins. Place the chickpeas in a pot with the reserved soaking water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1 hour.
While the chickpeas are boiling, cube the eggplants and slice the onions into rings.
Once the chickpeas are boiled, transfer them to a pan along with the eggplants and onions.
Add sweet paprika, salt, pepper, thyme, tomato paste, and grated fresh tomato.
Mix everything well and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
