  2. Stir in the aubergines and cook for 1 minute, then add the chopped tomatoes and stock. Stir to combine then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, until the aubergine is tender.
  3. Add the kidney beans and the lime juice, then season to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes, until the beans are warmed through.
