- 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 8-10 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic, diced tomatoes (with their juice), rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, paprika, cinnamon, cumin, allspice, and dried mint. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- 4
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the eggplant is very soft. Stir occasionally, adding more broth or water if the stew becomes too thick.

If using, stir in the golden raisins or dried apricots during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or mint if desired.
