What is the original recipe for Provençal vegetable tian?
This recipe is a variation of the iconic Provençal vegetable tian. Vegetable tian is a specialty from the south of France and is best enjoyed in summer, when it is the peak season for sunny vegetables. For cooks who would like to tackle it, here is the recipe to keep in the back of your mind until the sunny days arrive. For a Provencal-style vegetable tian for 6 people, bring: 2 eggplants, 3 zucchini, 2 yellow peppers, 1 red pepper, 5 tomatoes, 3 cloves of garlic, 2 onions, 10 g of Provence herbs , 5 tablespoons of olive oil, a little salt and pepper.
To prepare, first preheat the oven to 180°C. While it is heating up, wash and dry the vegetables. Peel the onions. Cut everything into thin slices using a mandolin. Peel the garlic cloves. Use one of them to rub a baking dish, when done, oil it generously. Squeeze the remaining garlic cloves. Place the vegetable slices upright in the dish, interspersing the colors and packing them tightly. Season with a little salt and pepper then sprinkle with herbs and pressed garlic. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and cover with foil. Bake for 45 min. Remove the foil and continue cooking for another 15 minutes.
