3 Red Onion sliced into 3mm rounds (~140g / 5oz each); use a mandolin if you have one
5 Tomato sliced into 5mm rounds (~140g / 5oz each)
2 teaspoon Cooking Salt or kosher salt; or half for table salt, +50% for flakes
0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
1.5 teaspoon Herbes De Provence
Equipment
Oven
Ceramic baking dish
Knife
Cutting board
Mixing bowl
Mandolin
Instructions
1
ABBREVIATED RECIPE Sweat the eggplant and zucchini, spread oil, tomato paste and garlic in a dish. Arrange vegetables, alternating, drizzle/sprinkle with oil, Herbs de Provence, salt and pepper. Bake 40 minutes.
2
FULL RECIPE Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F (180°C fan-forced).
3
Toss eggplant and zucchini slices in a bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt. Place them in colander over bowl to sweat and leave to drain for about 10 minutes while you slice the remaining vegetables and prepare the baking dish.
4
Spread 1 tbspolive oil, tomato paste and half the garlic over the base of a ceramic baking dish (30cm x 20cm x 5cm / 12" x 8" x 2"). As the vegetables bake, they will release their juices which will mix into it to create a beautiful sauce underneath.
5
Give the colander a shake to remove excess water off the eggplant and zucchini (no need to pat them dry), then put them back into a bowl. A lot of salt comes off with the water, so toss with another 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
6
Arrange the vegetables vertically in the dish, alternating eggplant, zucchini, onion and tomato (I do it in this order). I usually make around 14 rows (the video is very useful here). Don't be afraid to pack the vegetables in quite tightly. They will shrink as they bake, so arranging them snugly together helps them stay upright.
7
Drizzle all-over with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with remaining garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, black pepper and Herbes de Provence.
8
Bake for 40 minutes until the vegetables are soft and lightly browned on the edges. Serve immediately, or leave to cool and serve at room temperature.
