Tian De Courgette Provencal Zucchini Gratin Recipes

Steps:

• Place the zucchini in a bowl, sprinkle with about a teaspoon of salt and set aside.
• Meanwhile, bring two cups of water to the boil in a sauce pan, add the rice and cook until rice is tender, about 17 minutes. Drain the rice.
• Drain and rinse the zucchini. Spread it on paper towel and pat it to dry. Heat oil in a heavy skillet. Add onion and saute over a medium heat until the onion is translucent. Add zucchini and saute another two minutes. Remove from heat.
• Mix eggs, cooked rice, garlic and milk together in a bowl. Stir in the onion and zucchini. Add cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Oil a four-cup shallow baking dish. Spoon in the zucchini mixture. Place in oven and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned on top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a very large (12-inch) saute pan and cook the onions over low heat for 20 minutes, or until tender but not browned. Add the zucchini and cook, covered, for 10 minutes, or until tender. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg and cook uncovered for 5 more minutes. Stir in the flour. Add the hot milk and cook over low heat for a few minutes, until it makes a sauce. Pour the mixture into an 8 by 10-inch baking dish.
• Combine the bread crumbs and Gruyere and sprinkle on top of the zucchini mixture. Dot with 1 tablespoon of butter cut into small bits and bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and browned.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking dish with olive oil. In a medium saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook the onions over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Spread the onion mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.
• Slice the potatoes, zucchini, and tomatoes in 1/4-inch thick slices. Layer them alternately in the dish on top of the onions, fitting them tightly, making only 1 layer. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme leaves, and thyme sprigs and drizzle with 1 more tablespoon of olive oil. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Uncover the dish, remove the thyme sprigs, sprinkle the cheese on top, and bake for another 30 minutes until browned. Serve warm.
