Gratin of Summer Squash

 

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small red onion

3 zucchini

2 plum tomatoes

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, minced

3 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil an 8-inch round baking dish.

Slice onion into rounds. Slice zucchini and tomatoes about 1/2 inch thick.

In a large skillet over medium heat, place 1 tablespoon of the oil, and

saute onion and garlic until translucent (5 to 8 minutes).

Place zucchini slices vertically along the edge of the baking dish (cut

edge against side of dish). Place the tomato slices against the zucchini,

then some of the sauteed onion-garlic mixture against the tomato slices so

vegetables stand up around perimeter of baking dish. Repeat with zucchini,

tomato, and onion-garlic mixture to form alternating rings. Place

remaining vegetables in center. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme, and

cheese.

Bake for 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 6.
