Step 2 | Cut the pumpkin in wedges, season and oil and bake at 200°C in the oven until soft and with a slighted charged or brown edge.
Step 3 | Cut the remaining aubergine into medium size blocks and fry in oil until golden brown. Season as the aubergines comes out of the oil and is still hot.
Step 4 | Halve the cherry tomatoes and quarter the onions, season and bake in an oven tray with some oil at 200°C for about 15-20 min, the tomatoes should be charred and soft. Remove from the oven, and add some sherry vinegar. Stir gently to loosen.
