- Heat a thick-bottomed frying pan and dry fry the aubergine pieces on a high heat so they toast on each side. Remove from the pan and put to one side. Repeat with the courgette and pepper batons.
- Heat the oil in the pan, then add the onion and sauté for a few minutes. Add the garlic, followed by the vinegar, sugar and half the basil. Add the tomatoes, stir and bring to simmering point.
- Return the courgettes, peppers and aubergine to the pan and season with black pepper. Cook for a further 5 minutes, then serve topped with the remaining shredded basil.
Turn this side dish into a main meal by serving with baked sweet potato and oven-baked fish; or chicken breast
