  • 1 medium brown onion diced
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp veggie stock

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions.

  2. Fry the onion and ginger in 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add the eggplant and the remaining 2 Tbsp of oil and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until eggplant is soft, being careful not to burn it.  Then add the stock and water. Cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and break down with your spoon. Add the fresh herbs at this stage too. Cook down again for about 5 minutes and then add the green olives last.
