Servings: persons

3 japenese eggplants
2 sweet potatoes
4 carrots
6 potatoes
5 pimientos
1 capsicum
1 cup mushroom
12 butternut pumpkin
3 birdseye chilies
2 large handfuls sweet basil
7 garlic cloves, crushed (not minced, you want big pieces)
3 (400 g) cans diced tomatoes
1 cup red wine
1 cup vegetable stock
1 cup tasty cheese

1
Start by heating up your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Chop all the veggies up.
3
The larger veggies should be in medallions and the chilies, pimientos, mushrooms and capsicum should be chopped into smaller pieces.
4
I preferred to leave the Basil whole, but you can chop it if you prefer.
5
Add everything (except cheese) into a LARGE baking pan (we're talking big enough to roast a large chicken in for size).
6
Mix it all through as much as you are able to, just to get an even mix.
7
Cook, covered in the oven for approx 40 minutes.
8
Sprinkle the cheese over the veggies and put back into the oven.
9
Raise the temperature to full heat and cook uncovered for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
10
Serve with fresh crusty bread as there will be quite a lot of liquid in this dish.
