Spiced aubergine and tomatoes
I borrowed this recipe from my great friend Carlos. He's a very accomplished cook and going for dinner with him is a delight. He served this with a beautifully marinated leg of lamb, I'll get that recipe too at some point.The spices in here are subtle yet give such a great flavour. You can make it with fresh tomatoes for the best results but tinned also work.
Method
- Halve your aubergines lengthways and then cut into 2.5cm thick pieces across the aubergine.
- Heat your Egg and pan to 180°C-200°C and set it up for a direct cook.
- Drizzle 2-3 tbsp oil over your aubergines and put them into your pan to brown.
- Cook for 5 or 6 minutes, turning occasionally until they are a nice colour.
- Now add all of your dried spices to the pan and stir through.
- Afer 2 minutes add the crushed garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Now add the chopped tomatoes and sugar and cook for 20 minutes.
