Instructions

  1. Heat the oil. Peel and finely chop the onion and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Wash the aubergine and cut into 1 cm cubes. Add to the onion and fry for about 8-10 minutes. Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and cucumber, chop and mix with the aubergine.
  2. Add the peeled and pressed garlic cloves. Wash the herbs and pat dry. Pluck the leaves from the stems and chop finely. Add mustard, vinegar and capers to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes while stirring.
  3. Put the aubergine mixture in the food processor and puree for a few seconds (the strainer works too). Tastes warm as a starter with baguette or toast, or cold as a spread e.g., at parties.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
