Method
- Heat 3 tbsp of the oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat, then fry the aubergines for 4 minutes, turning, until golden. Lift onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and set aside. Add 2 tbsp oil and the peppers, then fry for a few minutes until lightly spotted with brown. Set aside. Add 1 tbsp oil if needed, along with the fennel and courgettes, and fry for 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- Add the remaining oil and the onions to the pan and fry for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Add the garlic and fry for 1 minute. Return the fried vegetables to the pan with the tomatoes, passata and some seasoning. Part-cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring now and then, until all the vegetables are tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly. Stir in the dill, taste and season a bit more if needed.
