A classic Provence dish consisting of tomatoes, aubergines, peppers and courgettes, plus garlic and onions. Seemingly simple, but genius in taste. Century-old Gallic cooks receive all the credit, but the recipe can be found in various forms along the Mediterranean from Spain to Turkey. Enjoy this hearty vegetable stew as a side to Balsamic Turkey or with a crisp salad for a lighter meal.
