Simply place all the ingredients in a large roasting tin or shallow baking dish, and mix together very well. I use my hands to do this and get everything well coated. The next part is difficult to be exact about. I put the dish in the oven and cook for around an hour at quite a high temperature, to get the vegetables a little charred. I turn them about 2 or 3 times during this first hour. Let the onions get a bit blackened here and there. I then turn the oven down to medium and continue to roast for another hour - well to be honest - I usually give it another two hours. I don't let it char or burn any more, but cook it until all liquid has evaporated. Be generous with the oil, the aubergines need it. You could add basil at the end, then eat it however you fancy. The first time I made this, it was for vegetarian friends, and we ate it with pasta, vegetarian sausages and plenty of parmesan cheese. Another time we put it into giant sandwiches on ciabatta bread, with mozzarella and falafels. MMM!

Introduction
Better than plain roasted vegetables - typical ratatouille ingredients roasted in the oven until charred and concentrated. It does need time to cook, but needs hardly any attention.

I cooked this receipe today and it turned out lovely, really pleased with result as had nice rich flavour. Didn't need 3 hours to cook though. Served with quiche and jacket potatoes.
