INGREDIENTS :
​
​​
-
1 cup crushed tomatoes
​
-
1 tablespoon Danwood Smoked Oil®
​
-
1/4 teaspoon Danwood Smoky Vinegar®
​
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
​
-
1 tablespoon fresh basil, sliced, about 3-4 large leaves, plus more for garnish
​
-
1 teaspoon herbs de Provence spice mix
​
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
​
-
1/4 teaspoon pepper
​
-
1/4 teaspoon chilli powder
​
-
1/4 teaspoon Danwood Smoky Powder®
​
-
1 medium sweet or red onion, sliced
​
-
1 large zucchini, sliced, about 1 1/2 cups slices
​
-
1 large Japanese eggplant, sliced, about 3 cups slices
​
-
3 large Roma tomatoes, sliced, about 3 cups slices
​
​
INSTRUCTIONS :
​
​​​​
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 6x9-inch baking dish and set aside.
​
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes, Danwood Smoked Oil®, and Danwood Smoky Vinegar®. Stir in the garlic, basil, herbs de Provence, salt, pepper, chilli powder, and Danwood Smoky Powder.
​
-
Pour the tomato mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth it into an even layer on the bottom of the pan.
​
-
Stack the vegetable slices in alternating patterns (e.g. onion, zucchini, eggplant, tomato; repeat) and place them on their side in the pan, leaning against the edge of the pan. Repeat until you've formed a couple of rows of vegetables, filled the pan, and used up all of the slices.
​
-
Optionally, spray or brush the exposed tops of the veggies with Danwood Smoked Oil® to encourage browning in the oven. This is more for appearance, so feel free to skip this step if you want.
​
-
Bake for about an hour, until the tomato sauce at the bottom is bubbling and the vegetables are tender.
​
-
Garnish with additional chopped fresh basil before serving (optional). Serve hot or cold.
​
​
NOTES :
​
​
-
This may seem like a lot but is really enough for 2-3 people.
​
-
If you're feeding a family or a crowd, double the recipe and bake it in a 9"x12" pan.
​
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
