Sweet Spiced Aubergine, Lemon & Apricot Stew
We had some aubergines in the #CookpadKitchen that we’re looking a bit past their best. So I stewed them down with apricots, spices and saffron, and finished with fresh lemon zest and juice. The result is this thick, sweetly spiced sauce and meltingly soft aubergine. Yum!
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Make up the stock then add the saffron, apricot halves and maple syrup to the hot stock. Leave to one side.
* Step 2
Fry the onions in oil for a few minutes until soft, then add the spices and ginger and stir well. Cook for another few minutes.
* Step 3
Add the stock and tomatoes to the pan giving it a good stir, then place the aubergine chunks on top. Add a well fitting lid and leave to simmer.
* Step 4
Allow to stew on a medium/low heat for an hour until all the aubergine is soft and the sauce has thickened. To finish, stir through the lemon zest and juice just before serving.
