Vegetable Tian

Good olive oil

2 large yellow onions, cut in half and sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 pound medium round potatoes, unpeeled

3/4 pound zucchini

1 1/4 pounds medium tomatoes

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

1 T fresh thyme leaves

2 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375.

Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil. In a medium saute pan, heat 2 T of olive oil and cook the onions over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Spread the onion mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.

Slice 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 T of olive oil. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Uncover the dish, remover the thyme sprigs, sprinkle the cheese on top and bake for another 30 minutes until browned. Serve warm.
