Method:

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onion, garlic, celery and carrots, and cook until beginning to brown.

2. Add the harissa and stir for 1 minute. Add the aubergines, tomatoes and the measured water to the pan.

3. Bring to the boil then cover the pan and simmer gently for about 25 minutes. Stir the okra into the pan, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until it is tender.

4. If necessary, uncover the pan towards the end of cooking so the consistency of the sauce at the end of the cooking is quite thick. Add salt to taste.

5. Garnish with chopped coriander, and serve.
