Method
Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius

scatter the garlic over the peppers
roast for 30 minutes until the skins have blackened slightly
add a tablespoon of olive oil to a pan and over a medium heat, sauté the onions
add the fructose and the vinegar to the pan
reduce over a low heat until it is very slightly syrupy and remove from the heat when done
in a non stick pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil and fry the aubergine until golden and cooked through
remove the peppers from the oven, and place the peppers with the juices in a bowl and cover with cling wrap
when they are cool peel the skins off
reserve all juices, but discard the skin
once all of this is done and the aubergine is cooked, add the tomatoes
cook for two minutes as you want the tomato to be warmed through
add the onion mixture, the capers and the olives
when warm, grate the cacao into the pan and allow it to melt
Season
roughly chop the peeled red pepper and add with all its juices to the mix
drizzle with the left over olive oil
