Steps:

• | Preparation | Place garlic in an aluminum pouch, season with salt and transfer to the grill to roast until tender. Using a silicone brush, brush peppers with oil and transfer to the grill. Grill until skins are charred. Transfer peppers to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let cool, then remove blackened skins. Set aside to drain. Skewer onion slices with a metal skewer and brush with oil, lightly season with salt and pepper and grill until tender. Set aside. Brush both sides of eggplant with oil, lightly season and grill until tender, about 1 minute on each side. Set aside. Repeat this process with tomato, zucchini and squash. Repeat with mushrooms, but grill for 2 minutes on each side. Set aside to cool. | Assembly | Line the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Starting with half of the eggplant, line the bottom of the pan with overlapping slices. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp cheese. Using the same method, create the second layer with half of the red peppers, then half yellow peppers. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp cheese. Assemble the third layer with half the onion, then half the zucchini, crisscrossed with the yellow squash, followed by half the tomatoes. Sprinkle with 4 Tbsp cheese. Arrange roasted garlic evenly over the layer. Then layer remaining onion and tomatoes with 4 Tbsp cheese and remaining zucchini, squash and red and yellow peppers with 4 Tbsp cheese. Layer remaining eggplant and arrange mushroom slices overlapping as the top layer. Cover with parchment paper and put a plate on top. Put a weight on the plate, such as an unopened can. Set on a rack over another plate with sides to drain. Refrigerate overnight. To serve, drain liquids, remove weight, plate and parchment paper, and invert on a cake plate. Remove the pan, sprinkle with cheese, arrange basil leaves on top and serve at room temperature.

VEGETABLE TERRINE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Salt it and blanch the beet greens for 1 minute. Remove the leaves and immediately rinse under ice-cold water to set their color. Gently lay flat on tea towels, and pat dry with another tea towel. They should be completely dry.
• Line a buttered terrine mold with a piece of parchment. Neatly lay in the beet leaves to cover the bottom and sides completely. They should dangle over the sides a bit so that they can be folded over the completed terrine later.
• Cook the cauliflower, carrots and peas one at a time in the same pot of boiling salted water, until very tender. Remove them and immediately rinse in ice-cold water to preserve their color. Drain well. Roast the pepper until very soft. Peel, seed and cut into pieces.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C.
• This terrine has five layers, so work one vegetable at a time. First put the cauliflower in the blender with 1/4 cup/60 ml cream and 1 egg. Pulse to a smooth puree. Pour into a small bowl and set aside. Rinse the blender and proceed with the remaining vegetables in the same manner, pouring their purees off into bowls and setting aside. Put the final egg and 1/4 cup/60 ml cream in the blender with the Parmesan cheese and puree to blend. Season each mixture with salt and pepper.
• If you pour one mixture on top of the other into the terrine, they will run together, so spoon them in instead. Start with the carrot, spooning it into the terrine and smoothing it out to the edges. Next, spoon over the cauliflower, followed by the peas. Spoon the Parmesan mixture over evenly, and end with the red pepper. If one leaks through to another layer, fear not: some think it is even more beautiful that way and in any case it will taste delicious. Fold the overhanging beet leaves over top to cover. Bake in a water bath until set, a good hour.
• Remove the terrine from the bath. Let it cool completely on a wire rack, and, if possible, chill in the refrigerator overnight so it sets well. At least half an hour before serving, turn the terrine out onto a cutting board or platter for serving in slices.
