8. Preheat the oven at 175 C / 350 F.
9. Once the bell peppers have cooled down, peel the skin off delicately and cut them in halves again.
10. Take a large oven dish and place the eggplants by stacking up the slices, tomatoes, onions, and add the bell pepper cut in quarters. Add the chopped garlic on top.
11. Sprinkle salt, peppers, and drizzle the olive oil.
12. Place in the oven at 175 C / 350 F for one hour. Once they are cooked, remove from the oven. Let them cool down, drizzle the sherry vinegar, and enjoy tepid or cold.
