A cartouche is a disc of baking parchment, cut slightly larger than your baking dish, and with a hole cut in the middle. Allegedly it is better insulating than a lid, and leads to more thorough and even steaming.
The aubergine and tomato will get coloured by direct exposure to heat. The zucchini and capsicum are under cover, so they need to get their exposure separately, on the grill.
