roast the fennel and peppers in the oven, then chop into bit size chunks. Chop the chorizo small and fry in olive oil. Use the oil to make a dressing with balsamic vinegar. Add all ingredients to a bag of mixed leaves and a cucumber, peeled, deseeded and chopped.
This was really nice. The cucumber made a nice contrast of texture to the soft peppers and fennel. If anything the flavours may have been too complex.

vegetable mousaka
based on Jamie Oliver recipe.
1 large lasagne dish
Preheat oven to normal temp.
Potatoes, sliced. Enough to cover the dish 1.5 times.
1.5 large eggplants.
2 medium zuchini
Brown all veg in a large pan (or two). I found that doing this dry was just as good as with oil. Need the heat quite high. They stick at first, but as the surface dries they unstick.
Whilenthis is going on, fry two onions and two cloves of garlic in some olive oil, then add 2 tbsp vinegar, two tins of tomatoes, and one tin on lentils, having drained most but not all the water. cook for 15 minutes or so, as you continue to brown veg.
Now layer up the dish with all the prepared stuff, plus some crumbled feta (1.5 packs).
Bake for 25 minutes while you make the topping.
3 tbsps flour, and enough butter to make a roue. Add nearly 1 pt milk to make a white sauce. flavour with nutmeg and salt, then allow to cool before beating in two beaten eggs.
Add topping to the mousaka and finish with grated parmesan.
Bake for a further 30 minutes.
This was a really heary vegetarian meal. The lentils added a meaty consistency. I wll try with cheddar instead of feta next time. This took a long time to prepare, but was done and dusted by the time our guests arrived, so quite convenient.
