VEGETABLES AU GRATIN
When summer produce is in stock, there's no better use than a simple gratin. Back in 1987, Pierre Franey considered it an exemplary side dish to a meal of grilled salmon with shrimp. Most of the work here is chopping, but if you're not feeling up to it, you could always use a mandolin or the slicing attachment of a food processor. Cooked on the skillet, the vegetables yield their flavors, before being sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and broiled.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler to high.
- Cut off and discard ends of the eggplant, squash and zucchini. Cut squash and eggplant into very thin rounds. There should be about 2 cups of each. Cut eggplant lengthwise into quarters and cut each quarter into thin slices. There should be about 4 cups.
- Heat 6 tablespoons of oil in a skillet and add eggplant, zucchini and squash slices. Cook, shaking skillet and stirring so slices cook evenly, about 8 minutes. Add onions and garlic and stir to blend. Add bay leaf, salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut away and discard core of each tomato. Cut tomatoes crosswise into thin slices.
- Remove and discard bay leaf. Pour cooked vegetables into a baking dish and arrange tomato slices on top to cover. Brush tomatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle evenly with cheese.
- Place dish under broiler about 4 inches from heat. Leave broiler door partly open and cook 5 minutes.
