Steps:
- Add the sliced potatoes to a large saucepan with water and parboil (they should still be firm in the centre, but slightly softened on outside). Drain and set aside.
- Add the olive oil to a frying pan over a medium high heat, once hot, add the onion and fry for a couple of minutes until softened
- Add the peppers and garlic and fry for a further couple of minutes.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste (puree), stock, balsamic vinegar, oregano, fresh basil and crushed fennel seeds.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce heat, and allow to gently bubble for 15-20 minutes until sauce reduces down and thickens (it's important to let the sauce reduce down and thicken otherwise it will be too watery).
- Taste sauce and season as needed with salt and black pepper.
- Set aside.

- Pour the sauce over the potatoes, spreading out so it covers evenly with a spatula
- Top with the remaining parmesan and mozzarella.
- Cover with foil (it's important you use a deep enough tray so that the cheese doesn't touch the foil when covered)

I found this recipe on a pyrex glass baking dish. I have not made it - but it looks so simple and the flavours should work well together. As a shortcut I would purchase the grilled eggplant and capsicum from the deli.

Tips:
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your bake a better flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you have a mandoline, use it to cut the vegetables into thin, even slices.
- Season the vegetables well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the vegetables.
- Layer the vegetables in a baking dish: Start with a layer of root vegetables, such as potatoes or carrots. Then, add a layer of leafy greens, such as spinach or kale. Finally, top with a layer of cheese.
- Bake the vegetable bake until the vegetables are tender: This will usually take about 45 minutes to 1 hour. You can check the vegetables by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the vegetables are done.
Conclusion:
This layered vegetable bake is a delicious and easy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it when you're ready to serve.
