This is my favourite recipe, and I enjoy it as a meal-on-it’s-own, on toast, with any meat or braai. Use enough olive oil, and do not over-cook. I sometimes, just pop it in the oven as a roast, when I am too busy to watch the pan. I use the vacuum-packed dried ,black olives of one of our local Olive farms -  convenient and delicious!

INGREDIENTS:

1 medium Brinjal

1 Red Onion; 

2 cloves of garlic (chopped and crushed)

1 pk Button Mushrooms ( or 2 big black mushrooms)

6 Sundried Tomatoes (if available)

A handful of black olives

1 Red Pepper

Extra Virgin Olive Oil for cooking

3 sprigs Fresh Rosemary

2-3 whole basil leaves.

Pink Himalayan salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

METHOD:

Chop all vegetables in bite-size pieces.  Sauté onion in hot oil and then add garlic. Fry for a few minutes then the rest of the vegetables. Turn down the heat to medium and cover with a lid to steam until cooked for a pleasant and nutritious dish! (For the preparation of the Brinjal, see the consumers tip)
