Ingredients

Method

  • 2 eggplants, cut into 2cm chunks
  • 2 red capsicums, cut into 2cm chunks
  • 100ml olive oil
  • 200g bacon, chopped
  • 1 sliced onion
  • 3 crushed garlic cloves
  • 400g cherry tomatoes
  • 700g butter beans from a tin, drained
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 3 rosemary sprigs
  • Handful of basil leaves
  • Preheat the oven to 220C. Spread the eggplant and capsicums on a roasting tray, drizzle with 5 tbsp of oil and some seasoning, then roast for 40 mins, turning occasionally. Meanwhile, fry the chopped bacon in 2 tbsp of oil until crisp and golden, then remove and set aside.
  • Toss the onion into the pan with the bacon fat for 8 mins, then stir in the garlic and fry for 2 mins more. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, rosemary and stock, bring to a simmer, then add the roasted vegetable from the tin to the pan and simmer for about 20 mins to thicken. Scatter with basil and serve with crusty bread - delicious!
