    Place all the ingredients, except the stock, in a large Le Creuset baking tray. Drizzle generously with olive oil and mix together, ensuring all the ingredients are coated. Place in the oven and roast for an hour and a half, checking regularly that the vegetables don’t catch. Once cooked, remove from the oven, and place the contents of the tray into a large casserole (remove the skin of the garlic). Pour the stock over and on a medium heat, bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to allow all the flavours to combine.
