Ingredients

• 3 courgettes , thickly sliced
• 1 aubergine , cut into thick fingers
• 3 garlic cloves , chopped
• 2 red peppers , deseeded and chopped into chunks
• 2 large baking potatoes , peeled and cut into bite-size chunks

Method

1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip all the vegetables into a large roasting tin and toss with the coriander seeds, most of the olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread everything out to a single layer, and then roast for 45 minutes, tossing once or twice until the vegetables are roasted and brown round the edges.
 
2. Place the tin on a low heat, and then add the tomatoes and chickpeas. Bring to a simmer and gently stir. Season to taste, drizzle with olive oil, then scatter over the coriander. Serve from the tin or pile into a serving dish. Eat with hunks of bread.

Tip

For a one-pot Sunday lunch, roast a chicken in the tin for 30 minutes, then remove from the tin and toss in the veg. Nestle the chicken back among them and continue to cook as above.
