Ingredients

  • 1 large aubergine
  • 2 small onions (finely sliced)
  • 1 clove garlic (crushed)
  • 1 stock cube (chicken or vegetable)
  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes (a small tin)
  • oregano
  • olive oil

Method

  1. First of all put the grill on! Peel most of the dark maroon skin off the aubergine and slice lengthways into about 6-8 slices that should be about 1 cm thick. Brush both sides of the aubergine with olive oil. Put under grill until light golden brown, don't let it burn or it will taste a bit acrid. 
  2. Meanwhile fry the garlic into about a tablespoon of olive oil (in a wide pan)and add the onions to fry gently until opaque and just starting to caramelize. 
  3. Add the can of chopped toms with plenty of salt and pepper and oregano. Add the stock cube and stir until its melted in. 
  4. Add the aubergine slices, then add a small amount of boiling water to nearly cover the aubergines, let simmer gently for about 20-30mins until the aubergines are soft, eat hot or cold.
