This roasted vegetable dish was absolutely delicious - i will make it again very soon for a party.

very yummy. i needed to add about a cup of water to it, and i used a full 28oz can of canned tomatoes with liquid to it. don't know how it could work without extra liquid (it all evaporated, anyhow!). maybe a few extra garlic cloves/oregano sprigs would boost the flavor, very gentle and yummy as is.
