Aubergine and Courgette Goulash

Posted by SO345294
Serves 4, 3pp per serving

1 largish aubergine, sliced into thick rounds
1 large courgette, sliced into thick rounds
apprx 5 tsp olive oil
1 can beans of choice (I used haricot or kidney)
1 onion, diced
5 tomatoes, roughly chopped
3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
smoked paprika
chili powder


Sprinkle one side of aubergine and courgette with salt. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, saute onions in 1 tsp olive oil, a generous bit of paprika (1 Tblsp or to taste) and chilli to taste; once translucent, add tomatoes and garlic; cover with lid and reduce heat to medium low.

Return to courgette and aubergine. Wipe off salt (and the water the salt has drawn out of the veggies). Heat a frying pan, add 1 tsp of oil and veggies - only enough to cover the bottom of the pan (you will need to do this in batches, hence enough a total of 4 tsp oil). Once browned on both sides, place veggies in a casserole dish. Season to taste. Set aside.

Return to simmering tomatoes and onions, remove from heat. Using a standard or hand-held blender or a food processor, puree contents until smooth; season to taste. Pour over veggies. Cover dish with lid or foil, place in a 200 degree oven for 30 mins. Done!
