Tiella Calabrese
Ingredients
- 3 or 4 potatoes
- 2 zucchinis (cuccuzzielli)- can be preserved ones, which might be even nicer
- tin of tomatoes or 4 or 5 fresh roma tomatoes, peeled and chopped (yum)
- an onion
- 4 or 5 cloves of garlic
- half cup breadcrumbs
- half cup grated romano cheese, even pecorino - something a bit more tart than parmesan if possible
- olive oil
- basil
Method
- parboil potatoes whole until almost done - peel and slice zucchinis lengthways and parboil them as well at the end - the veggies won't really cook much once you put this in the oven
- take everything out of water, let cool meanwhile, prepare the usual tomato base using olive oil, chopped onion, garlic and peppe, then add the tomatoes chopped with basil, salt to taste at end
- preheat oven to 180C slice the parboiled potates thinly mix breadcrumbs and grated cheese in bowl then build the dish like a lasagne: base of layer of sauce layer of potatoes, layer of zucchini, then layer of sauce. finish with sauce on top, then top with breadcrumbs and cheese, drizzle with some oil
- place in oven for 30 - 40 minutes until you are happy with it
TO PLAY WITH: maybe get some more herbs in there preserved zucchini with herbs might be even nicer use different veges, maybe some artichoke!
