Cost per serving $1.60 view details
  • 150 ml good extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 x strips lemon peel
  • 2 x strips orange peel
  • 2 clv garlic sliced
  • 1 bn basil stems and leaves separated
  • 1 x aubergine halved lengthways and sliced
  • 3 x courgettes sliced on the diagonal 2 red peppers cored and sliced Sea salt and black pepper
  • 1 pun (approximately 20) pomodorini (baby plum tomatoes) or possibly cherry tomatoes
  • 1 x beef tomato skinned deseeded and minced
  • 1 handf caper berries or possibly large capers liquid removed
  • 8 x bocconcini (baby mozzarella) or possibly two buffalo mozzarella (each ripped into four chunks) Balsamic vinegar to serve

Directions

  1. Put the oil peel garlic and basil stems (set aside the leaves for later) in a pan and hot through gently without flying for about 5 min.
  2. Leave to infuse for as long as possible then throw away all the flavouring bits. Meanwhile prepare the aubergine courgettes and peppers and toss with the salt and a few twists of pepper. Heat a large fiying pan till warm brush the vegetables with some of the infused oil and sear (in batches) in the pan on both sides till just limp.
  3. Toss the baby tomatoes in the oil then smartly blister them all over in the warm pan; add in to the other vegetables. Gently reheat the remaining infused oil with the minced beef tomato for 2 min and toss with the vegetables caper berries (or possibly capers) mozzarella and some torn basil leaves.
  4. Serve in bowls with a few whole basil leaves thrown over and a sprinkling of balsamic vinegar.
  5. Try to use bunched basil or possibly the stems sold in packets. Potted ('growing') basil doesn't have the guts of the more robust pointedleaf variety. You could throw in some olives too.
  6. Serves 4
