1. Place a saucepan on medium heat and add olive oil, the chopped garlic and fry until golden brown,tomato purée and peeled whole tomatoes and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, simmer and reduce.
2. Leave the sauce to reduce and prepare the rest of the dish.
3. Place frypan on heat and add olive oil, add eggplant and cook until coloured and almost soft, drain eggplant and set aside.
4. Do the same for onion, capsicum and zucchini.
5. Add all the vegetables to the reduced tomato, add basil, add cilantro. Mix well.
