I LOOOOOOVE Eggplant!

Here's one that's easy-peasy

6 tablespoons olive oil
unpeeled medium eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch cubes OR you can use two of those chinese eggplants (which I sorta like better if you can find them)
1 cup onion, yellow; coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves; crushed
1 cup green pepper; cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 cup tomatoes, canned; crushed
1 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano; dried
1/4 cup parsley, fresh; minced
salt and pepper to taste
(Or you can cheat and use one of those pre-packaged chili seasoning mixes to save time)
2 cups beans, canned (kidney and/or garbanzo); drained

Heat olive in a large skillet. Add zucchini, onion, garlic and green pepper. Sauté 10 minutes until softened.

Transfer to a saucepan and add tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir in beans and cook 10 minutes more on low heat. Adjust seasonings.
