I made this today and wow, it was incredible. Maybe you should add that during the first 10-20 minutes frequent stirring is required because the onions and mushrooms don't generate enough fluids so they could be left alone. I didn't have any chili seasoning, so I used chipotle seasoning instead. - 9/16/07

I was pleasantly surprised! I added .5 tsp. crushed red pepper. I oven roasted the veggies as suggested; there was very little liquid when I combined all the ingredients, so I added 1 can of beef broth. Very nice change of pace dinner! We'll add ground bison next time for more protein. - 1/3/10

This is one of my favorite dishes to make! I use Diced Canned tomatoes with Italian Seasonings (basil, oregano, &garlic) for those who don't care for the heat of Szechuan sauce. In the summer I dont saute this I just throw it all in the microwave & cook until tender. - 6/9/09

While it tastes 4-star good, I gave it 5-stars because it is so low-cal AND filling. I sprinkled smoked paprika and chipotle chile powder in my bowl before eating. Gave it a hearty "comfort food" flavor. - 1/4/10

Made this last night for dinner. It makes a huge pot of stew, very low in calories and very filling. It was really tasty and I will definitely make it again. My only change was adding a hatch pepper with the onions instead of the spices at the end. I'm looking forward to the leftovers today. - 1/12/09

I really like this recipe because it calls for all the vegatables I like, except for mushrooms so I just lefted them out. I had to use some low sodium chicken broth to the stew to make it a little soupy but not to soupy. Overall, I love this recipe, it's low-calorie, tastes great and will make again - 2/11/10

I roast the egglant, some sweet peppers and a clove of garlic for 15 min (peppers) or 40 min (eggplant and garlic) at about 400. I served it over poppy seed polenta - 1 cup polenta, 5 cups veggie stock, and 2 teaspoons poppy seeds. - 5/28/08

I seem to be completely incapable of following a recipe -- I ALWAYS make tons of changes. But I do read recipes for ideas, and this one has an excellent idea -- a ratatouille-like soup with garbanzo beans for protein mixed with one of my favorite dishes, szechwan eggplant. Yummy! - 3/27/10

I made this in the crockpot-cooked on low while I was at work. When I got home, I used an immersion blender to make more of a stew and less of a pile of vegetables in broth. After blending together, I added two cans of beans and a bag of spinach.
Tasty-but two much work for what you get. - 3/4/12

Definitely a keeper recipe! I sauted the garlic and onion in vegetable broth (.25 cup), used a mixture of mushrooms, added a chipolte pepper while it cooked and used bakarat seasoning for a mediterranean flair. Very tasty, filling. 1 cup was enough for me! - 2/27/12

I made this a few days ago for the 2nd time - it is delicious. This time I needed to make it in a Slow Cooker - my stove/oven or on the fritz - it took longer and I kept stirring it. I am curious has anyone on the W/W program checked it for Points+ value??? If so please post....thanks - 1/16/12

I make a similar recipe on a regular basis for lunch. Other possible additions-red or green bell peppers, red or black beans instead of the chickpeas. if you like spicy, used diced tomatoes with jalapenos, and double the garlic. I like the addition of the mushrooms, a different texture and taste. - 10/6/11
