Ingredients

Method

  • 2 eggplants, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 80ml olive oil
  • 1 sliced red onion
  • 2 sliced garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp pine nuts
  • 400g tin of cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp capers, rinsed
  • Basil, to serve
  • Preheat the oven to 220C. Grease and line a baking tray with paper. Toss the eggplant with ½ tsp sea salt and place in a colander over a bowl for 25 mins. Rinse in cold water, and pat dry. Transfer the eggplant to the tray and toss with half the oil. Roast for 35 mins or until browned.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of oil in a saucepan and cook the onion and garlic for 8 mins to soften. Add the pine nuts, cook for 4 mins more, then tip in the tomatoes and cook for 10 mins on a low heat until thickened. Stir the eggplant and capers through the sauce and cook for 3 mins more. Serve with torn basil leaves and plenty of black pepper.
