These beautifully soft cooked aubergines layered with yogurt, tomatoes and peppers make a delicious vegetarian side dish. They're perfect as part of a mezze meal as well as to go with a spicy curry or stew.
Slice the aubergine lengthwise. Salt slightly and leave for 30 minutes. Then mop the moisture up using kitchen towel.
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Fry the aubergine slices on both sides until lightly browned.
Lay slices of pepper and tomato on top of the aubergine. Sprinkle with the cayenne pepper. Add a little water and leave to simmer for about 10 minute until the water has almost all evaporated.
Put a little yogurt in the bottom of a serving dish. Carefully add a layer of aubergine, peppers and tomatoes from the frying pan.
Season and add a layer of yogurt. Add another layer vegetables then yogurt.
Serve as a side dish or with flatbread.
