Spicy Red-Pepper and Aubergine Confit

This spicy red pepper and aubergine confit is a vibrant vegan dish that celebrates the deep, concentrated flavours of Mediterranean vegetables. By slow-roasting the peppers and aubergine in a generous amount of extra-virgin olive oil, the textures become incredibly silky while the garlic and dried chilli flakes provide a gentle, warming heat. It is a versatile staple that works beautifully as a savoury relish or a rich topping for crusty sourdough.

Ideal for batch cooking, this healthy plant-based recipe develops even more character if left to sit, making it a brilliant make-ahead option for weekend lunches or mezze platters. Serve it at room temperature to fully appreciate the complex infusion of tomatoes and aromatics. It is a simple yet sophisticated way to elevate seasonal produce into a comforting, homemade delicacy.
