Drescription
This pretty vegan layered casserole is so simple to make. Its only seasonings are salt and garlic-infused olive oil, which you make by sizzling a clove of garlic in olive oil for about a minute. This dish is lovely warm or room temperature. Serve with crusty bread as a vegetarian entree or alongside roasted meats as a side dish—don't forget a glass of chilled rosé.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, sliced
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 3 small onions
- 1 medium summer squash
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until the garlic begins to sizzle, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Slice tomatoes, onions, squash and zucchini into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Standing them up on their sides, alternate the tomato, onion, squash and zucchini slices in a circular pattern around the edge of a 9-inch deep-dish glass pie pan or similar-size round casserole dish. Make a second alternating circle in the center. Pack the vegetables tightly: they will shrink while baking.
- Discard the garlic, if desired, and drizzle the vegetables with the oil. Sprinkle with salt. Bake until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown, about 1 hour. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
