2.Place loaf on a plate. Cut top quarter from loaf. Scoop out centre and discard, leaving a 2cm-thick shell. Spread dip inside loaf and over cut side of top. Place pumpkin over base of loaf shell. Top with zucchini, mortadella, eggplant, cheese and capsicum. Replace top.

3.Wrap loaf tightly in plastic wrap. Top with another plate. Place a heavy object on top to compress filling. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavours to develop.
