Instructions

1
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C. Cut the aubergine into cubes, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them until golden and soft. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
2
Step 2
While the aubergine is roasting, bring water to a boil in a pot and cook the artichokes until they're tender. Once cooked, drain them and set aside, keeping them warm.
3
Step 3
In a separate pan, heat a little olive oil and add finely chopped garlic and onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, which will typically take 3-4 minutes.
4
Step 4
Add the cooked azuki beans and asparagus to the garlic and onion mixture. Cook this over medium heat until the asparagus is tender but still vibrant, which will take about 5-7 minutes.
5
Step 5
Once all vegetables are ready, combine the roasted aubergine, boiled artichokes, and the pan contents into a large serving bowl. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
6
Step 6
Serve your warm Mediterranean bowl hot, drizzling the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon over the top to enhance the dish’s natural flavors.
