Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan. Pan fry the courgettes, onions, peppers and aubergines until golden in colour, placing in a colander to drain once done.
  2. Leave to drain for 10 minutes, then put all the ingredients into a heavy-based saucepan or casserole dish.

  3. Season well with salt and pepper and bring up to a simmer, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.

  4. Lower the heat, cover with a lid and cook for 25 minutes or until all the vegetables are soft.
