Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the black pepper elements, and pat the aubergine dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the aubergine and slow-cook until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.
Stir in the brown sugar and the rest of the black pepper flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the peas along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
