Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the aubergine wedges and stir well to coat all pieces in oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes until the aubergine starts to soften.
-
Step 2.
Add the garlic clove to the pan and continue cooking for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the aubergine is tender and cooked through and the garlic is just turning golden.
-
Step 3.
Stir in the tomato purée, soy sauce, sugar, freshly ground black pepper, and lime juice. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened.
-
Step 4.
Transfer the aubergine mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the finely chopped red onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, finely chopped green bell pepper, and finely chopped red chilli. Toss everything together until evenly mixed. Serve immediately.
