7. Add canned tomatoes and oregano and bring to the boil then simmer,
uncovered, for 45 minutes, stirring frequently, or until reduced by about
one-third and then season to taste.

8. Meanwhile, steam the eggplant single-layer batches for 4-5 minutes each
batch, until softened. Put aside.

flavourings.
