Ingredients
For
4
personnes
- 3 courgettes
- 2 aubergines
- 1 onion
- 1 gousse garlic
- 2 c. à soupe Nyons olive oil PDO
- 2 branches thyme
- Salt (pepper, Espelette chilli PDO)
Tip
Olive oil with a subtle flavour is generally mild, with aromas of fruit (dried, ripe, red) or flowers, accompanied by vegetal notes. Subtle-flavoured olive oils (PDO Nyons, PDO Nice, PDO Languedoc and oils of the Lucques, Cailletier, Tanche, Grossane, etc.) will pair very well with this aubergine and courgette confit.
Instructions
- Peel the onion and then dice it very finely.
- Wash the courgettes and aubergines.
- Peel the courgettes.
Dice the courgettes and aubergines into small cubes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of Nyons olive oil (PDO), fry the onion, then add the courgettes and aubergines.
Add the crushed garlic, a pinch of Espelette chilli PDO, and season with salt and pepper.
Cook, covered, for 25 minutes, then remove the lid and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes. The vegetables should be tender.
- Serve with cooked white rice or as a side dish with grilled meat (pork, chicken, etc.).

We recommend...
For this recipe, choose a PDO huile d'olive de Nyons (subtle taste) for its notes of dried fruit and buttery flavour, possibly accompanied by hints of fresh hazelnuts and/or freshly cut grass.
Don’t have any? Then choose a PDO huile d'olive de Nice!
