Advice
Use a wide pot and keep the batch shallow—more surface area means faster evaporation and a bright, jammy spread that won’t weep on bread.
Why it works
Roasting concentrates pepper/tomato sugars; oil forms a light emulsion with the veg purée for sheen, while a last splash of vinegar sharpens the sweet, smoky base.
Twist
Sharena (spicy) version: add ½–1 tsp hot paprika or a roasted hot pepper; Country style: skip eggplant and leave the mixture a bit chunky.
