Equipment

  • 1 4 quart dish suitable for baking

Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini or 2 large
  • 4 to matoes
  • 1 large onion or 2 small
  • 1 log of soft goat cheese Costco has an excellent one that comes in a two pack
  • 15 cl de vinaigre balsamique
  • White rice - enough to cover the base of your casserole about 2 cups
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon or more of chopped thyme
  • Herbs de Provence to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Balsamic glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Wash all vegetables and dry. Slice zucchini into 1/4 inch or so coins. Spread goat cheese on top. Slice tomatoes and onions. Put onions in microwave for a minute or two until starting to cook (they should not be fully cooked as you will cook them some more in the oven).
  • Grease casserole with olive oil. Run a sliced garlic clove around greased sides and bottom or use garlic olive oil.
  • Spread rice on bottom of casserole. Layer zucchini, goat cheese, tomato, goat cheese, onion on top. I like to layer so it looks pretty. Sprinkle chopped fresh thyme on top. Sprinkle herbs de provence on top too.
  • Bake covered for a half hour. Uncover and bake some more until vegetables are fork tender.
  • Serve with your favorite main dish. Enjoy!
