Cape vegetable casserole

This Cape vegetable casserole recipe is full of healthy ingredients like eggplant, garlic, raisins, grapes, oats, onions and tomatoes. 

My family loves casserole recipes and we are trying to 

explore the great variety of one pot recipes and traditions that is available in different parts of the world. This dish is inspired by the cape cuisine of South Africa and with its fruitiness and spiciness as well as its nutty flavors it is quite different from the traditional one pot meals known in Germany, England the United States and other parts of the Western world.
