A dish from French cuisine that gained fame thanks to the animated film by Pixar Studios, but on its own, it has enough elements to attract the attention of the most discerning palates with a delicious combination of textures and flavors from its ingredients.

Steps

1 hour 45 minutes

1

It's best if the vegetables used are of similar diameters for a better presentation of the dish.
2

Once the vegetables are clean, slice them thinly and set aside.
3

To prevent the eggplant from adding a bitter taste, lightly salt the slices for 3 minutes to let them 'sweat', then rinse them.
4

Blend 3 tomatoes, onion, garlic, and season with a bit of olive oil, salt, and herbs de Provence for 6 minutes to prepare the tomato sauce.
5

In a baking dish, add a layer of the tomato sauce and then arrange the slices of tomato, eggplant, and zucchini, always following the same order, e.g., tomato/zucchini/eggplant.
6

Once the dish is full, drizzle a bit of olive oil, herbs de Provence, and pepper over the vegetables. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
7

Bake at 350-400°F (180-200°C) for 35 minutes, remove the aluminum foil, and continue baking for another 7 to 10 minutes.

Serve the portions and enjoy this delight. On this occasion, we accompanied it with a fusilli salad.
