To prepare the spicy sweet and sour peppers and aubergines, start by taking care vegetables: remove the stalk and cut them into small pieces, then keep them aside for a moment. Heat a generous drizzle of seed oil in a large pan with high sides placed on a high heat and as soon as it is hot, fry the chopped vegetables, salt them lightly and let them brown until they are well browned and colored.
