    • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
    • 1½ cups dried chickpeas, rinsed and soaked overnight and drained
    • 1 28-ounce can tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
    • 1 ounce dried Porcini mushrooms, re-hydrated
    • 3 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 3 cups hot water
    • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

    Directions:
    Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Soak dried mushrooms in a bowl of hot water for 30 minutes.

    Strain liquid through a sieve lined with a paper towel and set aside.

    Chop the mushrooms finely.

    Cut eggplants in half lengthwise. Brush the cut sides liberally with 2 tablespoons oil.

    Place on a rimmed baking sheet, cut-side down, and roast until tender, about 25 minutes.

    Let stand until cool enough to handle.

    Cut into 1-inch cubes and transfer to a 4-quart (or larger) slow cooker.

    Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 6 minutes.

    Add garlic, oregano, cinnamon stick, salt, pepper, bay leaf and the chopped mushrooms.

    Cook and stir for 1 minute.

    Add the chickpeas and the liquid reserved from the mushrooms.

    Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

    Transfer to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the eggplant.

    Cover and cook until the chickpeas are very tender, about 4 hours on High or 7 to 8 hours on Low heat.

    Remove cinnamon stick and bay leaf.

    Stir in tomatoes and parsley.

    Serve over rice as a standalone meal or as a side.
