Zucchini and Summer Squash Gratin With Parmesan and Fresh Thyme image

this is AMAZING!!!! Have some nice crusty bread to sop up the luscious juices. I served this as a main dish--serves 4 as a main dish, six-eight as a side. Please be sure to let this set out before serving, as the recipe instructs--it makes it a much more cohesive gratin.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 lbs ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into 1/4 inch slices
3/4 lb zucchini or 3/4 lb other green summer squash, cut into 1/4 inch slices on the bias
3/4 lb summer squash or 3/4 lb golden zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch slices on the bias
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh thyme leave
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/4 cups freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese (I was out of this!!! So I just used freshly grated mozzarella.)
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To cook the onions: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and sauté, stirring frequently, until limp and golden brown, about 20 minute Reduce the heat to medium-low if they're browning too quickly.
  • Add the garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Spread the onions and garlic evenly in the bottom of an oiled 2-quart shallow gratin dish (preferably oval).
  • Let cool.
  • To assemble the gratin: Heat the oven to 375°F.
  • Put the tomato slices on a shallow plate to drain for a few minutes and then discard the collected juices.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini and squash slices with 1-1/2 Tbsp of the olive oil, 2 Tbsp of the thyme, and 1/2 teaspoons of the salt.
  • Reserve half of the cheese for the top of the gratin.
  • Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of the thyme over the onions in the gratin.
  • Starting at one end of the baking dish, lay a row of slightly overlapping tomato slices across the width of the dish and sprinkle with a little of the cheese.
  • Next, lay a row of zucchini, overlapping the tomatoes by two-thirds, and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Repeat with a row of squash, and then repeat rows, sprinkling each with cheese, until the gratin is full.
  • Season lightly with pepper and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt.
  • Drizzle the remaining 1-1/2 Tbsp olive oil over all.
  • Combine the reserved cheese with the remaining 1 Tbsp thyme and sprinkle this over the whole gratin.
  • Cook until well-browned all over and the juices have bubbled for a while and reduced considerably, 65 to 70 minutes.
  • Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

ZUCCHINI AND PARMESAN GRATIN



Zucchini and Parmesan Gratin image

I got this recipe from the San Jose Mercury News years ago. It originally had a salsa-like tomato sauce recipe to serve on top, but I didn't even save that part, because I like the taste of it just as it is. If you don't eat it all at the first meal, it can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups zucchini, shredded
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1 dash pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
  • Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray. (You can use another size of pan, but be sure that the mixture is no more than 1 1/2 inches thick in the pan.)
  • Mix all of the ingredients together well and pour into the pan.
  • Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese to taste.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose tender zucchini: Look for young, small zucchini with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid large, mature zucchini, as they can be tough and seedy.
  • Use a mandoline slicer for even slices: A mandoline slicer will help you create consistently thin and even zucchini slices, which will ensure even cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the zucchini, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the zucchini from steaming instead of browning.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The Parmesan cheese is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality cheese that has a strong flavor.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked zucchini will become mushy and lose its flavor.

Conclusion:

Zucchini and Parmesan gratin is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a light and healthy meal or a decadent side dish, this recipe is sure to please. With its creamy, cheesy sauce, crispy Parmesan crust, and tender zucchini, this gratin is a dish that everyone will love.
