Directions
Cut up the veggies into chunks of roughly the same size, and cook over medium high heat in a non-stick skillet (no need to spray!)
Toss everything around in the skillet for a while, then chucked it into a casserole dish in the oven on medium-ish heat for 45 minutes.
The onions.
Get a couple of pounds (a kilo) of onions, slice them up in the food processor, put them into the non-stick skillet with just a little veggie stock (adding more as needed to stop sticking) over a medium heat, not stirring too often, for about an hour.
After a while, they do stick a bit, and that's a great time to splash in a little red wine or balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan.
Then let them cook a little longer, until they have a beautiful caramel color and delicious, rich aroma.
