  and green peppers and saute another 5 minutes.  Then add the yellow squash, 
  zucchini, and cabbage, and cook another 10 minutes. 
   
  4.  Remove the skillet from the heat.  Add the spinach, oregano, salt, 
  pepper, tomatoes, and kidney beans. 
   
  5.  Cut the crusts off the bread and lightly toast the slices. 
   
  6.  Spread half the vegetable mixture in the bottom of a large ovenproof 
  cassarole.  Layer the toast next, and then top with the remaining vegetable 
  mixture. 
   
  7.  In a small skillet, heat the remaining 2 T. olive oil.  Add the garlic 
  and saute until lightly browned.  Spoon the garlic over the vegetables. 
   
  8.  Add the reserved stock to the cassarole, and sprinkle with the Parmesan 
  cheese.  Bake for 40 minutes.  Serve piping hot. Source:  "The New Basics
