Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 onion
  • 1 aubergine
  • 3 red peppers
  • 3 courgettes
  • 5 tomatoes
  • Herbes de Provence or Thyme
  • 1 vegetable stock cube

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice thinly your onion and garlic cloves.
  2. In a large saucepan (I generally use one of my cast iron casseroles but a large saucepan is fine as well), warm up the olive oil and gently fry the onion and garlic for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile cut your aubergine and red peppers into dice.
  3. Add the aubergine and red peppers to the saucepan, combine with the onion and garlic and leave to cook whilst you cut your courgettes into dice.
  4. Add the courgettes to the saucepan, combine with the other vegetables and leave to cook whilst you cut your tomatoes into dice.
  5. Add the tomatoes and, according to your taste, herbes de provences, thyme, a vegetable stock cube, tomato purée. Last time I made it I put thyme and a vegetable stock cube.
  6. Cover and cook over a very gentle heat for one hour stirring occasionally and then uncover and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes stirring occasionally (most of the water will be gone by the end).
