The key to the success of this recipe is the browning of the aubergine and onions. They should be golden and caramelised to give this dish its full flavour, so it’s worth taking your time overcooking them. Wonderful served over pasta, with gnocchi or polenta, or simply with crusty bread to scoop it up.
