1/2 c Olive oil

1 lg Carrot, coarsely chopped
1 c Drained garbanzo beans

Cut eggplant in half lengthwise, and lenghtwise again into 1 inch strips.
Cut each strip into 1 1/2 inch lengths.

In large, non-reactive saucepan, heat the oil. Add onion, and stir over
medium heat until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add carrot, beans, garlic, salt &
pepper and allspice. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally in a folding
motion, for 10 minutes.

Add tomatoes and enough water to bring liquid to half the depth of the
solids. Cover and continue cooking for 20 minutes.

Stir in the mint, cover and cook until eggplant is very tender, about 10
minutes more.

Serve hot, room temperature , or cold. Stir in cilantro just before
serving.
