Tian de Legumes (Provencal Baked Vegetable Tian)
Tian de Legumes (Provencal Baked Vegetable Tian) is French home cooking, eaten at dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre and the cooked vegetable. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 medium eggplant, thinly sliced
- 3 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow squash, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dried herbes de Provence
- 1/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Preheat the oven to 375 F, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet, and cook the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes, then spread them over the base of a baking dish.
- Arrange the sliced zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes and yellow squash in alternating, slightly overlapping rows standing on their edges over the onions.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the vegetables and scatter the herbes de Provence, salt and black pepper on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Uncover, scatter the breadcrumbs and Parmesan over the top, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, until golden.
- Let the tian rest for 5 minutes before serving; it is a genuine summer weeknight dinner in Provence, good hot or at room temperature and even better the next day.
