Method

The tomato fondue:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F)
  2. Peel the tomatoes (To make peeling easier, blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into icy water)
  3. Dice the tomatoes and simmer in a pot with the garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and sugar.

The onion base layer:

  1. Peel and finely chop the onions and place in a frying pan. Drizzle with olive oil and cook until soft and translucent.

The Tian:

  1. Cut the vegetables into thin slices of equal thickness.
  2. Assemble the tian in an ovenproof pan or dish: In your baking dish, spread the onions and tomato fondue on the bottom and arrange the vegetables on top, alternating the colors.
  3. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar. Sprinkle with thyme, pour in the olive oil, and place in the pre heated oven. 
  4. Bake at 160°C/180°C (320° F/356°F) for 45 minutes - or until the vegetables are soft and tender.
