Photo by K. Ercius

2 small zucchini
3 firm tomatoes
2 sweet onions (or red for more color)
4 to 5 garlic cloves
4 branches each; thyme and oregano
salt and pepper to taste
2/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 t. coriander
1/3 c. olive oil
  1. Wash zucchini, split in half lengthwise.
  2. Place halves, cut side down and slice each lengthwise in to 3-4 parts without severing the slices from the stem end.
  3. Core tomatoes, halve vertically and slice thinly.
  4. Slice onions and garlic as thinly as possible (I press the garlic in a garlic press).
  5. To assemble oil the casserole.
  6. Scatter 1/2 the onions and garlic over the bottom of a large, shallow casserole.
  7. Press fans, cut side down firmly in to place.
  8. Place tomato slices between the zucchini slices.
  9. Sprinkle herbs on top.
  10. Drizzle 1/3 c. olive oil liberally over all.
  11. Top with 2/3 c. white wine.
  12. Cover with foil and cook in a 357 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until tender.
