• While rice cooks, coat two large baking sheets each with a tablespoon of a of olive oil. Spread zucchini and tomato slices on the baking sheets in as close to a single layer as you can. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Roast tomatoes for 10 minutes and zucchini for 20. Flip zucchini halfway through, but don't bother to flip the tomatoes.

ZUCCHINI GRATIN (GOAT CHEESE)

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 400 °F, and coat a 1-quart shallow baking or casserole dish with non-stick spray.
• Place the shredded zucchini in a bowl and add salt to taste, mixing well.
• This will be a seasoning as well as an agent to draw out moisture.
• Let stand for 5 minutes, then drain the water that has collected at the bottom of the bowl.
• Heat 1 TBS olive oil over medium heat in a large non-stick skillet.
• Add the zucchini and black pepper to taste, and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until all the moisture has evaporated.
• If this goes well beyond 10 minutes, you may drain the zucchini and return to the skillet, but you really do want to get rid of all the moisture.
• Add the garlic, mix well and cook 5 minutes more, stirring as needed.
• Stir in the parsley and basil, and remove from heat.
• Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
• Beat the eggs and goat cheese together in a bowl.
• This may be done with a whisk, but do try to break the cheese down into small bits and incorporate well with the eggs.
• Stir the cooled zucchini into the egg mixture, then spoon into the baking dish.
• Top with bread crumbs and drizzle the remaining TBS olive oil over the top.
• Bake until golden brown, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

ZUCCHINI TOMATO GRATIN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bring a large sauce pan of water to a boil. Add the zucchini and summer squash pieces, bring the pot back to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the pan into a colander. Dump the cooked squash pieces into a heat proof bowl and roughly mash the pieces with a potato masher. You want to have large pieces, so don't over mash. Dump the mixture back into the colander to drain off extra liquid.
• Combine the squash, herbs, red pepper, salt and pepper, and egg into a baking dish and stir to evenly distribute everything. My gratin dish is 11 x 8. An 8 x8 Pyrex would be perfect.
• Add the tomato slices. Tuck some of the slices under the mixture, and top the mixture with the rest of the slices.
• Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the dish, and top with the cheeses and return it, uncovered, to the oven for 20 minutes. At the end of 20 minutes, if the cheese is not brown enough, turn on your broiler, raise the rack, and place the dish under the broiler. Stay close by and remove the dish when the cheese is how you like it.
• Note: This recipe can easily be scaled. I also think it would be wonderful in little individual gratin dishes.

TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI GRATIN

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes and zucchini into 1/4-inch thick round slices, as uniformly as you can. On a cookie sheet or ovenproof platter, overlap the tomato and zucchini in a decorative pattern, like red and green shingles on a gingerbread house. Blend all the dry ingredients together, then scatter them evenly over the tomatoes and zucchini. Sprinkle the olive oil on top and bake in a 375 degree oven until golden and crusty, about 20 minutes. Present the platter or sheet at the table, using a cake server or metal spatula to slide several overlapping pieces onto each diner's plate.;
