Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over high heat until very hot. Add the shallots and cook until they start to caramelize. Add the garlic, toss, and cook lightly for 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, put all of the diced vegetables in a bowl and toss with the flour. Add the vegetables to the stockpot and brown for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the red wine and reduce until about 1/2 cup of liquid remains. Add the stock and fresh herbs and cook, covered, until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the cayenne sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, place the stew in a large serving bowl and serve hot.
