TOMATO/ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE



Tomato/Zucchini Casserole image

Like it or Lump it! Zucchini (Courjette) is a fact of life, and true to its inherent squash quality, they do grow to an enormous size. What does one do with so much zucchini? Make zucchini bread for bake sales, for pot lucks, for gifts at Christmas, for hostess gifts. or make a lovely tomato/zucchini casseroles for a nice change. The addition of salt in this recipe is rather discretionary, given the salt factor in the cheeses. Govern yourself accordingly. Although the salt item is included in the recipe, personally, I omit it entirely (once again, because of the cheeses).

TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE WITH CRISP CHEDDAR TOPPING



Tomato and Zucchini Casserole With Crisp Cheddar Topping image

This casserole is a modern twist on an old favorite, the tomato-zucchini bake. But instead of a Parmesan and bread-crumb topping, this one is covered in a savory oat and Cheddar crumble that crisps and browns in the oven. Dollops of garlicky, herbed ricotta make the casserole wonderfully rich and creamy, while olives liven it up with their salty tang. This is equally good warm or at room temperature, preferably served within four hours of baking so the topping stays crunchy. Or you could make it the night before and reheat it in a 375-degree oven until bubbling. It makes an excellent side dish or meatless main course.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed, more for buttering casserole dish
1 1/2 cups whole milk ricotta
1/2 cup fresh basil or mint leaves
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
2 1/2 pounds tomatoes, cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges
1 pound slim zucchini, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, more as needed
1/2 cup high-quality pitted black olives, roughly chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh chopped oregano or marjoram
3/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Pinch cayenne pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees and butter a 9- by 13-inch casserole dish or 2-quart gratin dish.
  • In a food processor or blender, purée the ricotta, basil and garlic.
  • Toss tomatoes, zucchini and 1 teaspoon salt in casserole to combine, then spread into an even layer. Dollop with ricotta mixture and scatter olives evenly across the top.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, cheese, oregano or marjoram, lemon zest, cayenne and a large pinch of salt. Use your fingertips to work in the 5 tablespoons butter; you should end up with small clumps. Scatter clumps over vegetables, then drizzle liberally with olive oil.
  • Bake until golden and bubbly, 35 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Vegetables: Choose fresh, firm zucchini and tomatoes for the best texture and flavor. Overripe or bruised vegetables can compromise the dish's quality.
  • Slicing Technique: Ensure uniform slicing of zucchini and tomatoes for even cooking. Consistent thickness helps them cook at the same rate, preventing some pieces from remaining raw while others become overcooked.
  • Seasoning and Herbs: Don't shy away from experimenting with various seasonings and herbs to enhance the casserole's flavor. Garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary are popular choices that complement the zucchini and tomatoes well.
  • Cheese Selection: Opt for a good melting cheese like mozzarella or cheddar for a gooey, stretchy texture. Parmesan or Romano cheese can be added for a salty, nutty flavor.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Keep a close eye on the casserole during baking. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the oven, so check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center. It should come out clean, indicating that the vegetables are tender.

Conclusion:

Tomatoes and zucchini come together in perfect harmony in this delicious and versatile casserole. With its vibrant colors, delightful flavors, and customizable ingredients, this dish is sure to become a favorite. Whether you enjoy it as a main course or a hearty side, the tomato-zucchini casserole is a celebration of fresh summer produce that will tantalize your taste buds. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving more. Happy cooking!
