YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Phil Vickery’ s braised aubergines with spiced butterbeans and crispy garlic By You Magazine - June 7, 2020 An easy recipe that cuts out 90 per cent of the oil you normally use to cook the aubergine. Instead, I use water to start the cooking process then add beans, chilli, garlic and Tabasco to flavour the dish as braised aubergines can be pretty bland without all the oil. Kate Whitaker SERVES 4 PREPARATION TIME 10 MINUTES COOKING TIME 45 MINUTES 4 tsp olive oil 4 onions, chopped ½ tsp chilli flakes 2 large aubergines, cut into 2cm pieces freshly ground black pepper 400g can butterbeans, drained really well 1 tsp Tabasco sauce 4 garlic cloves, finely sliced 4 ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped 1. Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C fan/gas 6. 2. Heat 3 teaspoons of the oil in a shallow, ovenproof saucepan. Add the onions, chilli flakes and aubergines, mix well and season with a little pepper. Add the butterbeans, 100ml of water and the Tabasco then cover and bake in the oven for 40 minutes, or until soft and slightly coloured. 3. Once cooked, remove from the oven and stir well. Heat the remaining teaspoon of oil in a nonstick frying pan, add the garlic and cook over a high heat to get some real colour, until almost burnt. Add the garlic and the tomatoes to the aubergines then mix well off the heat. Serve. COOK’S TIP You could add some extra protein, such as a few prawns, chicken, or some sliced boiled egg.
