Steps
Steps
- 1Salt the cubed aubergine and leave it 20 minutes, then rinse and pat dry to draw out bitterness.
- 2Layer the vegetables in a large clay pot or deep casserole: the onion and potato at the bottom, then the aubergine, courgettes, peppers and okra, with the tomatoes on top.
- 3Tuck the garlic cloves between the layers and scatter the savory over as you go. Season each layer lightly with salt.
- 4Pour over the oil and 200 ml water — the vegetables will release plenty more.
- 5Cover and bake at 180°C for 1 hour.
- 6Uncover and bake a further 30 minutes so the top browns and the liquid reduces.
- 7Scatter with parsley and rest 15 minutes. It is as good at room temperature the next day.
