The dish in short

  • Potatoes, sweet peppers and aubergines, each fried on its own in plenty of olive oil, then stewed with fresh tomato and garlic.
  • The aubergines are sliced thin, salted for about 30 minutes, then rinsed and dried before they are fried.
  • Stewed covered in one pot, terracotta if possible, for about 1 hour over a moderate heat, until fairly dry.
  • No more oil goes into the stew: the fried vegetables bring enough.
  • Served warm or even cold, in the pot it cooked in; out of the fridge 2 hours at most.
