Dice onion, dice pepper, peel and dice carrots, cut the broccoli into flowerets and stems. For Swiss chard or spinach, wash, trim and cut into bite-sized pieces. Saute onion and peppers in oil in a large skillet. Add broccoli, carrots, tomato sauce, bay leaf, basil and salt to taste. Blend thoroughly. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to simmer, and cook vegetables until just tender. Will take about 15 minutes. Stir in chard or spinach. Transfer to a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Blend parsley into prepared potatoes; spread over top of vegetables. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika if you wish; it adds color.
Serve hot or warm.
