Veggie Brunch

The idea is brunch-like, but proprotioned to be dinner sized. All of it is cooked in one roasting tin, so it's pretty easy. It served it with nice crusty rolls and butter, but other ideas can be with vegetarian sausages or add some roasted onions or round it off afterwards with a bowl of sweet porridge.
