Then toss them back into the pot and season with butter/olive oil and herbs.
Add lemon zest.
If you have ginger put that in as well.
Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
​
In a new pan, sauté garlic and onions.
When the onions start to juice, put mushrooms in and add green herbs.
Add aubergine.
Season with salt.
Pour in canned tomatoes and add salt and sugar.
If you have bay leaves at home you might want to add one.
Bring it to a boil and simmer until it looks good, and as well season according to your taste.
​
Preheat oven to 220 degree Celsius.
Now in a glass or baking container, spread a little bit of oil to prevent sticking.
