Method

  1. Chop your chosen vegetables into 1cm/bite size pieces or strips.
  2. Heat some oil in a pan and soften your onions, peppers, aubergines, courgettes and crushed garlic.
  3. Add the tinned or chopped tomatoes and garlic.  For flavour add to taste – thyme and basil, black pepper, lemon zest and balsamic vinegar.  Tomato puree will add texture and colour as well as a richer flavour of tomato. 
  4. Allow to simmer until you’re happy with the flavour and texture – taste testing for best results and serve!
