Sunday Supper, Summer Vegetable Tian

the Painted Apron

3 years ago

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
