Vegetable Tian

Recommended Posts

I made a Zucchini and Tomato Tian with Caramelized onions a couple nights ago.

The aroma while roasting was amazing as was the finished dish.

I used:  

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 onions slice 1/4" thick, cut in half
S & P
2 minced garlic cloves
1 pound zucchini sliced 1/4" thick
1 pound yellow squash sliced 1/4" thick
1 pound plum tomato sliced 1/4" thick
1 tsp minced fresh thyme
2 ounces gruyere shredded
 
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Brush 13 by 9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon oil
 
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until softened and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Spread onion mixture on bottom of prepared dish.

Remove foil, sprinkle Gruyère over top, and continue to bake until bubbling around edge and lightly browned on top, 20 to 30 minutes longer. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

This is a terrific recipe and a great way to used those fresh veg.

@lindag, did you make one slice thickness of each of the four ingredients which were repeated, or, four separate layerings of all slices of four ingredients?

Each layer was alternating different slices., i.e., layer 1: zuke, squash. tomato onion. next layer the same.

 I meant to add the the original post that this dish didn't hold well for leftovers.

Next time I'll halve the recipe.

It just got soggy and not particularly appetizing looking.  And, I think, the flavors faded.
