Curried Chickpeas & Grilled Eggplant

*NOTE: Nutritional Values are calculated assuming full consumption of all included condiments or dressings, which may make up a significant percentage of the values below. Chickpeas don’t always get to be the main event—but here, they shine. Chef Dadrian simmers them in coconut milk with green onion, garlic, and aromatic spices, then blends them into a velvety curry purée. Smoky grilled eggplant is piled on top, with a tomato-studded salad providing a refreshing contrast. A drizzle of pomegranate dressing brings a colourful, tangy finish.
