Inventive casserole

I made up a whole new and exciting dish the other day: Inventive Vegetable Casserole. It was originally going to involve chicken, but I ran out of space in my oven dish, so it became vegetarian by necessity.

I took an oven bowl and tipped in a can of tomatoes. Then I added 4 potatoes, 2 carrots & 6 mushrooms, all cut into smallish pieces. Next came various herbs and spices, namely oregano, rosemary, Italian herb mix and black pepper. This was all topped off by a very large glass of red wine, then stirred and put in the oven at 180°C for about 1 3/4 hours.

And it ended up alright - even though the red wine was quite a dominant flavour!

For next time, the vegetables need to be in smaller chunks and I think cooking it for longer at a lower heat might be a good idea.

[And it might have been nice with some lamb, but they don't sell it in the supermarkets here - *sigh*]
