A Lazy Man's Saffron Caponata

After discovering some beautiful aubergines and tomatoes at the farmer's market, I cooked up a storm with the ingredients I had available. A flavour packed, saffron infused, take on the Italian classic. This dish is a great side option at the dinner table this summer.
