Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 eggplant (aubergine)
  • 2 zucchini (courgette)
  • 2 onions
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp herbes de Provence
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 10 leaves basil
  • 4 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Peel and cut the onion into large slices, smash the garlic cloves, and cut all the vegetables into 1-centimetre-thick slices.
  • Sauté the onion and the garlic with 1 tbsp of olive oil. When cooked, remove, and pour into a tian dish or uncoloured ceramic baking dish.
  • Make a bed with the onions and alternate the vegetable slices until your baking dish is full (see picture).
  • Spread the herbes de Provence and insert the basil leaves. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Cover with aluminum foil (or parchment paper) to keep the moisture inside and bake for 30 minutes at 180ºC (350ºF).
  • Let cool down and rest 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Vegetable tian pairs perfectly with lamb, roasted chicken, or grilled fish.
