FRESH VEGETABLE TIAN
Roasted potatoes, eggplant, zucchini and tomatoes, topped with roasted garlic and served with crusty bread. The dish has few seasonings, allowing the flavor of the vegetables to shine. Although it's not necessary, when choosing the vegetables, pick them in somewhat the same diameter. It will make alternating them in the baking dish easier and more visually appealing. A lovely dish.

Steps:

- Arrange the vegetables in the dish in slightly overlapping rows, alternating potato, eggplant, zucchini and tomato; season with salt and pepper; place rosemary sprigs on top and garlic in the center of the dish; drizzle everything with the remaining 3 T of oil.
- To keep the dish moist and tender, swirl the dish to move the oil around every 10 minutes; bake 40-50 minutes, until vegetables are tender and garlic is soft.
- Remove from oven; remove the rosemary sprigs and set the garlic aside to cool a bit; squeeze the garlic flesh into a bowl and mash; spread it on the vegetables or on the toast if you prefer; sprinkle vegetables with cheese and return to oven 2-3 minutes until cheese is just melted; serve warm.

Steps:
- Provencal Vegetable Tian Ingredients: Olive oil 2 c thinly sliced leeks, white and pale-green parts only, rinsed (1 large leek) 2 -3 large Yukon Gold potatoes 1 small eggplant, trimmed (peeled if desired) 1 large zucchini 1 small butternut squash 3 large tomatoes or 6 plum tomatoes 2 t. fresh thyme leaves grated Gruyere cheese Directions: Slice the potatoes, eggplant, zucchini, butternut squash and tomatoes into ⅛ to ¼ inch slices. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease a shallow baking dish (9 x 9 inch or 8 x 10 inch) with a little oil. Saute leeks with oil until tender then spread in the bottom of the baking dish. Place the vegetable slices in vertical rows (see photo). Try to completely pack the dish because the vegetables will shrink some while roasting. Note: I like to use the repeating sequence of potato, eggplant, butternut, tomato and zucchini - beginning and ending with the potato. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme leaves then drizzle with olive oil. Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 25 minutes. Remove the foil, scatter on the cheese and bake until the potato and butternut are tender and the vegetables around the edges are well caramelized, about 45 minutes more. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing. Can be made ahead and reheated in a 350 degree oven. Note: Feel free to use a variety of other vegetable combinations or substitutions! Mushroom slices, red onion, yellow squash are also great additions. Sent from Paprika Recipe Manager. http://www.paprikaapp.com

Tips:
