Servings

2

Ingredients

• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 medium-sized onion, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• 1 medium-sized aubergine, washed, halved and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 medium-sized courgette, washed and sliced into rounds
• 400 g tin of chopped tomatoes
• 200 g mushrooms, washed and sliced
• 1 red pepper, washed, deseeded and cut into 1-inch strips
• 1 tsp fresh or dried oregano
• 1 tsp fresh or dried basil

Method

1. Peel and dice the onion, peel and crush the garlic, then wash and slice the aubergine, courgette, mushrooms and red pepper. Leave to one side.

2. In a large frying pan over a medium/high heat, heat the olive oil.

3. Add the onion to the pan and sauté for around 2-3 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. If needed, add a little water to the pan to keep the onion and garlic from burning.

4. Reduce the heat to low and add the aubergine, courgette, mushrooms, red pepper and chopped tomatoes, along with the oregano and basil.

5. Stir the mixture to combine, cover, and leave to simmer for approximately 1 hour or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

6. Divide into two portions and serve warm.
