This was easy to prepare, and had a fresh and hearty flavour. I peeled and salted the eggplant for forty five minutes, then sauteed it in the pan for a few minutes before adding the tomatoes so it didn't develop a boiled taste. The tomatoes I had were plain, so I added Italian herbs and a little extra garlic and onion. Next time I'd try adding some chilli flakes.
