Ingredients

150ml extra virgin olive oil
2 aubergines
2 courgettes
4 gloves garlic, sliced
2 large potatoes, skinned
200ml White whine
Salt and pepper to season

Instructions

Roughly chop the aubergines and place in a colander. Cover with salt. Place a bowl underneath to allow any excess fluid to accumulate. Leave to stand for a couple of hours and dry the aubergines with a clean tea towel to remove any surplus fluid.
Into a large saucepan place coat the potatoes with 120g oil and sauté for a few minutes. Add the wine and then courgettes and aubergines. Cover the pan with a lad, and gently cook for about 35 minutes under a medium heat. Stir every now and then.
