Equipment

  • Medium saucepan

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large aubergines peeled and chopped into 3cm chunks
  • 4 tomatoes deseeded and chopped into 3cm chunks
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander plus extra leaves to garnish
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tbsp clear honey
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3/4 tsp salt or more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper or more to taste (optional)

Method

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan and add all the ingredients. Cover the pan and cook over a medium-low heat for about 30 minutes until the vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally to make sure they don’t stick to the base of the pan.
  • Uncover the pan and crush the vegetables with a potato masher, then leave to cook for about five minutes over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding salt if necessary.
  • Serve warm or cold, garnished with a sprinkling of coriander, as a side, dip or spread on khobz.
