Trying to be GreenCheap and easy. very tasty. I made this because we found a large aubergine lurking at the back of the greenhouse!
Ingredients
Makes 2 servings
- 1 large aubergine
- 2 courgettes
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 red pepper
- 1 tin tomatoes
- some chopped fresh basil if you have it
Preparation
Wash and slice the aubergines and courgettes into 1cm slices. Quarter the aubergine slices. Put the aubergines and courgettes into a colander over a bowl. Add about a tablespoon salt and place a plate on the top plus something to weigh it down. Leave for about an hour and you should get some brown bitter juice coming out of the bottom. Wash in cold water before cooking.
In a saucepan, heat some olive oil and gently fry the onion and garlic for about 5 mins. Add some chopped pepper and the aubergine and courgettes. Add basil and some salt and pepper. Put the lid on and turn the heat to low and cook for 20 mins. Add the chopped tomatoes and heat gently for 10-15 mins. Tastes even better if left to cool and then reheated!
