This takes a long time to cook, but actually requires very little effort. I prep all the ingredients in advance, then one by one throw them in a pot and then I can relax while it simmers away to delicious, sweet perfection!

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 120 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1kg brown onions
2 eggplants
2kg tomatoes
Salt and pepper

Method

Chop the onions, garlic and tomato, and dice the eggplant into 1cm cubes.

Heat the oil in a large pot over a low-medium heat.

Add the onion and garlic and saute for about 10 minutes, or until starting to soften.

Add the eggplant and stir. Allow to cook through for about 10 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and mix well. Place the lid on the pot and bring the sauce to a simmer. Remove the lid, and leave to simmer for about 90 minutes. Stir regularly as the sauce can stick to the bottom of the pot.

Once the sauce has reduced and has a sticky, thick consistency, it's ready.
