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.

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'...
