Pesto Zucchini Tomato Gratin

This Recipe Is:

By The Gluten Free Goddess
WebMD Recipe from Foodily.com

Ingredients

2 cups
gluten-free breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons
extra virgin olive oil
3 medium
zucchini, sliced in long pieces, 1/4 inch thick
5 cloves
garlic, chopped
1 handful
halved artichoke hearts
4 tablespoons
prepared basil pesto
2-3
vine ripe tomatoes, sliced thick
1 tablespoon
balsamic vinegar
4 ounces
fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1 pinch
sea salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
fresh or dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, marjoram), to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º F. Lightly oil a gratin dish or large pie plate.
Place the breadcrumbs in a bowl and using a fork, toss with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to coat; season with Italian seasoning.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the zucchini, garlic, and artichokes, and saute' briskly just until the zucchini is a bit golden and still tender-crisp. Remove from heat and pour the veggies into a bowl to cool slightly. When cooled, gently toss the zucchini mixture with the prepared basil pesto, to coat.
Layer the pesto veggies in the gratin dish or pie plate. Spread a scant third of the crumbs on the squash mixture. Layer slices of mozzarella in the gratin dish and top with sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle the tomatoes lightly with balsamic vinegar. Season the mixture with sea salt and pepper. Sprinkle the remaining crumbs over the tomatoes.
Bake the gratin until it is bubbly and hot, about 20-25 minutes. Serve on a bed of hot, brown-rice penne tossed with basil pesto.
