Heat oil in a large cast-iron pot over medium-high heat. Add ground lamb, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the meat is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add eggplant, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is starting to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add peppers, chili powder, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, allspice and salt and cook, stirring, until aromatic, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Stir in tomatoes and beans.

When thoroughly mixed, transfer chili to slow cooker set for 4 hours on high. When done, serve with cilantro, sliced radish and lemon or lime wedges and our gluten-free cornbread.
