    I don’t like eggplant. Can I make this with potatoes? Anyone tried that? 🤷‍♂️

    Too many eggplants, maybe? I put in extra chickpeas to balance it out. Not bad, but could improve.

    This was way too bland for my taste. I added more spices, but still disappointed. Meh. ✌️

    It’s just too weird, dried apricots in a stew?? I don’t think so. I wasn’t a fan. 😒

    Meh, could’ve been better. I just microwaved some leftover rice with it and called it a day.

    I don’t know about the apricots in a stew, seemed odd to me. Made it anyway but wasn’t a fan.

    It was okay. The taste was kinda different, but not in a good way. Didn’t have rice, just ate it as is.

    I tried this recipe but used green beans instead of eggplant. It still turned out pretty good, I guess. Just make sure to season it well! 😂
