Scoop out center and seeds of eggplant halves; cut eggplants into 3/4 inch dice. Toss with salt in bowl; let stand for at least 20 minutes. Drain off and discard fluid that collects; rinse well; pat dry.
Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat; add onion; saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute, or until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes, chickpeas, and eggplants; reduce heat to medium-low; cook 15 minutes, or until eggplants are tender but not mushy.
