Steps
Steps
- 1Salt the aubergine and leave 30 minutes, then rinse and dry well.
- 2Fry each vegetable separately in olive oil over high heat — aubergine, then courgette, then pepper — until coloured but still firm. Set each aside as it is done.
- 3Soften the onion and garlic gently in the last of the oil until sweet, about 15 minutes.
- 4Add the tomatoes, thyme and bay and cook down 20 minutes to a thick sauce.
- 5Return all the vegetables, fold together gently and simmer 10 minutes more.
- 6Take off the heat, tear in the basil and season with salt and pepper. Let it sit at least an hour — it is better warm than hot, and better still the next day.
