"This is delicious served with pasta, couscous or rice. To what was leftover I added more stock and pasta to make some soup. You will need a large baking tray. If you don’t have one large tray, use two and put the peppers together with the tomatoes on a separate one. It is difficult to give the right measure of stock, it will depend on the size of vegetables used and personal liking for the thickness of the vegetable mix. When serving it with pasta crumbled feta or grated parmesan goes well with it."

As other reviewers have noted this is a wonderful vegetable dish. The vegetables were roasted earlier in the day and then simmered with the stock at meal time. The dish was served as a main course over Recipe #109716.

This fits the bill when you want something healthy and delicious. The temp has dropped and it's been raining off and on all day so the roasting was comfortably done. The flavors are marvelous and the rice mentioned by the other reviewers was just a natural side kick and must have. I couldn't have ask for a nicer dinner this evening.

This is an excellent vegetable dish! I made it as a main meal and served it over brown rice. Delish! I cut the recipe in half and made just as directed. The half recipe of vegetables took 30 minutes to roast. Thanks for sharing, Pets! Made and enjoyed for your May 2010 LiveStrong cookathon.

Wonderful combination of vegetables. Had a real nice texture to it, and quite filling. I did not bother to peel tomatoes and peppers and thought that 1 cup of vegetable stock and 2 tablespoons of oil was plenty. Also, I should have roasted it longer (I confused boiling time with roasting time). It still turned out great. I served over rice and sprinkled with parmesan cheese. Feta would have been very good too. Had leftovers as a side of veggies the next day. At first I wondered whether it needed more seasoning but BF thought it was fine as is and it did have this terrific texture to it so I have to give this recipe 5 stars. Next time I will roast for a full 35 minutes at least. Great recipe idea.

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ...... My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don’t have any human children and “created” their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!! It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name. My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn’t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!! I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I’ve already learnt the language! I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy) Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor. Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making. She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar. She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated. <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/completedbanner.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/4treasurehunt.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>
