I’m back!

I think I’m due to host, after something like a month away from SNDC. I hope you folks can make it – 5:30 p.m. Sunday, 1201 N.E. 21st Ave.
Let’s try this “vegetable tian” recipe, which seems to be well-loved by the people of the Internet – including vegans, who omit the cheese, as shall we. Apparently “tian” is either a French casserole dish or an ancient Chinese term for a supernatural ethical course. Wonder which was intended here?
Anyhow, here’s what we need to do a 1.5X recipe:
- Good olive oil – Courtney
- 3 large yellow onions, cut in half and sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced - Courtney
- 1.5 pound medium round potatoes, unpeeled - Courtney
- 1 to 1.25 pounds zucchini - Courtney
- 1.75 to 2 pounds medium tomatoes- Courtney
- 1.5 teaspoon kosher salt- Courtney has coarse sea salt, a decent substitute
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper - Courtney
- 1.5 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus extra sprigs
- optional: vegan gruyere, if it exists.
It would also be good to have:
- some kind of juice – I think apple juice sounds good
- maybe a bottle of wine or a six pack of beer.
It takes a fair amount of time in the oven, too, so don’t forget your sparkling conversation.

Good to have you back in town, Courtney!
I will bring the onions and apple juice. BTW, I can’t stay super-long, I have a lot of stuff to do. I will probably have to eat and run.

I’ll bring some chips and guacamole, to spoil our appetites while it’s in the oven.

I can rustle up some fresh thyme, and maybe a bottle of wine. I might even be able to look for some vegan gruyere.

Hi! I might be there tonight! (sudden job interview pending) But I can definitely bring fresh thyme, and if anyone wants to start a rosemary bush, I have much, much rosemary to share. Otherwise, I’ll just bring the beer.
