Notes

Chef Tips:
 
  1. Keep the aubergine and courgette in water, in order to prevent it from turning brown i.e. enzymatic browning.
  2. Do not over roast the vegetables, as they may burn and impart burnt flavor to the stew.
  3. You may add green olives, if desired.
  4. Do not stir the vegetables vigorously or the vegetables will mash.
