Ingredients
- 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 eggplant, halved lengthways then sliced into ⅜ in half-moons
- 3 zucchini, sliced into ¼ in rounds

Method
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Mix 4 tablespoons of the olive oil with the garlic and tomato paste and spread this mixture over the base of a large shallow ovenproof dish.
- Salt the eggplant slices lightly and leave for 15 minutes, then pat dry. This draws out excess moisture.
- Arrange the eggplant, zucchini, onion and tomato slices upright in tight overlapping rows or a spiral in the dish, alternating the vegetables for colour.
- Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the salt, pepper and herbes de Provence.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for a further 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are completely tender and lightly caramelised at the edges.
- Rest for 10 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
