  • In a Dutch oven, or large pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat and sauté onions for about 5 minutes until they are translucent and soft. Add the garlic, chili powder, and cumin to bring out the flavors of these spices.

Add the eggplant, brown for 2 minutes, then flip the eggplant pieces and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the zucchini, red pepper, jalapeno pepper and thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes, and then add the tomatoes, black beans and the onion mixture from earlier. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, and then reduce to medium-low. Add the cooked sorghum and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the lime juice, and add the cilantro. Remove from the stove. Serve warm.
