VEGETABLE TIAN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking dish with olive oil. In a medium saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook the onions over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Spread the onion mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.
• Slice the potatoes, zucchini, and tomatoes in 1/4-inch thick slices. Layer them alternately in the dish on top of the onions, fitting them tightly, making only 1 layer. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme leaves, and thyme sprigs and drizzle with 1 more tablespoon of olive oil. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Uncover the dish, remove the thyme sprigs, sprinkle the cheese on top, and bake for another 30 minutes until browned. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. In a small frying pan, gently sauté the leeks until soft.
• In a large deep roasting dish, layer the vegetables so that they fit tightly together. After each layer, scatter over a few herbs, some garlic, salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Press down all the layers with your hands.
• Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the oven for about 30mins. Remove the foil, sprinkle over the cheese and return to the oven for a further 20mins until the top is golden and the vegetables are tender.
