Aubergine Caponata Stew

Slow cooked tomato-based stews are delicious with vegetables like aubergine that benefit well from being cooked for a longer period of time to ensure ...they are really soft. Caponatas include ingredients like olives and capers that are a brilliant way to add depth of flavour with minimal fuss. Unlike the traditional version of a caponata, I’ve added in white beans for a source of protein, carbohydrate and fibre. I find haricot beans work especially well as they add another texture and soak up lots of the flavour from the dish. But feel free to add in any beans or lentils that you have available. Again, this is another prime example of how stew or curry recipes can be adapted really easily to use up any odds and ends you have in the fridge veg wise – courgettes, peppers, fresh tomatoes, and spinach are all great additions. This dish is perfect in a Tupperware the next day or to freeze any leftovers. Read more
