🧂 सामग्री
- 3 Zucchini(medium-sized)
- 4 Tomatoes(ripe, medium-sized (e.g., Roma or beefsteak))
- 1 Eggplant(medium-sized)
- 2 Yellow squash(medium-sized)
- 4 cloves Garlic(minced or thinly sliced)
- 80 ml Olive oil(good quality extra virgin olive oil)
- 2 tbsp Fresh thyme(leaves picked from stems)
- Salt(to taste)
- Black pepper(freshly ground, to taste)
👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a gratin dish or oven-safe skillet (approximately 9x13 inches or similar oval shape) with a little olive oil.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Prepare the vegetables: Wash all vegetables. Trim the ends off the zucchini, yellow squash, and eggplant. Slice all vegetables (zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant, yellow squash) into uniform rounds, about 2-3mm (1/8 inch) thick. A mandoline slicer is ideal for uniformity, but a sharp knife works well. Discard the first and last slices of the eggplant if they are too watery.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 3
Arrange the vegetables: Begin by arranging the vegetable slices in an alternating pattern (e.g., zucchini, tomato, eggplant, yellow squash) in a circular or overlapping pattern within the prepared baking dish. Continue layering until the dish is full, standing the slices upright or laying them flat. Aim for a visually appealing arrangement.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Season and dress: Drizzle the arranged vegetables generously with the olive oil, ensuring it coats the slices. Scatter the minced or sliced garlic evenly over the top. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender when pierced with a fork and the edges are slightly caramelized and golden brown. The center should be bubbling gently.
⏱️ 50-60 minutes - 6
Rest and serve: Remove the tian from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to serve. Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
⏱️ 5-10 minutes
