Sunday Supper, Summer Vegetable Tian
Are you grilling something for supper tonight?
Oh good! I have the perfect side dish for you,
a Summer Vegetable Tian
A tian is a dish made with layered ingredients,
arranged in a shallow baking dish
This one is made with sliced potatoes,
zucchini, yellow squash, onions and tomatoes~
An all in one side to go with grilled meat, chicken or fish
The name tian originates from the Greek word for frying pan,
tēganon
Thinly slice the squash, potatoes, and onions
Place the slices upright in a circle
around the edge of a round baking dish
Fill the center with chopped onions
Top the onions with halved cherry tomatoes
Season with salt and pepper
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cheese
I also added a few dollops of Alfredo sauce,
because I had an open jar in the fridge,
but that is totally optional
At this point it can be covered and refrigerated
for baking later if desired
When you’re ready to bake it,
bring it to room temperature
Bake it covered at 400 degrees for 30 minutes,
then uncover and continue baking for 30-35 more minutes

Jenna, this looks like the perfect side dish to go with any meat. It is a lovely presentation as well. Happy Sunday and stay cool!
Thanks Pam, it’s fun to make too~
Yum! Really looks good!
Thanks Rita, it’s a great all in one side dish~
Lovely recipe and colorful dish that I’d serve without the parmesan, use a vegan cheese, a can of pinto or cannellini beans, and crusty whole grain bread for a meatless yet plant protein rich delight. Thanks for sharing at the July 15, 2923 edition of HIH. Please see my posts #18 through 21 and enjoy! Nancy Andres @ Colors 4 Health
