Target language: English

1- Once the aubergines are cut into slices, we let them drain to get rid of the bitter taste and we put some salt on them. We let them stand for 30 minutes.

2- We take the courgettes and cut them into slices.

3- We put the whole garlic bulbs, the tomato, some olive oil, sugar and basil in a saucepan and cook all this on low heat for 20 minutes. We add salt and pepper.

4- In a frying pan with some oil, we fry the aubergine slices slightly (on both sides), and then the courgette slices until they begin to turn brown.

Hi Lein,

The original is a bit weird, not the most common way of explaining a recipe (we take, we put, etc.)

But since you chose a quite literal translation, there are a few corrections:

When we have cut the aubergines into slices ---> Once the aubergines were cut into slices

and cook this ---> and cook them

We season it ---> We add salt and pepper

turning them over frequently ---> slightly on both sides (this change will require a different syntax )
"In a frying pan, we fry the aubergine slices (slightly on both sides)..."

they begin to change colour ---> they begin to brown

When we have cut the aubergines into slices ---> Once the aubergines are cut into slices (should be present tense here)

and cook this ---> and cook them
I don't agree. We cook all this (everything we have put in the pan).

We season it ---> We add salt and pepper

turning them over frequently ---> slightly on both sides (this change will require a different syntax )
"In a frying pan, we fry the aubergine slices (slightly on both sides)..." (I took 'slightly' out of the brackets as otherwise it would give the impression 'slightly' refers to 'on both sides' instead of 'fry'.)

they begin to change colour ---> they begin to brown ('to turn brown' is more commonly used than 'to brown'.) My first version is also commonly used but since you seem to prefer 'brown'...
