Ratatouille Tian

Serves 8

A tian is a mixture of vegetables, all very thinly sliced, tucked into tight overlapping concentric circles in a shallow dish and baked together. This is a simplified version of the dish that Remy, the little chef in the movie “Ratatouille,” made for the critic Anton Ego. For a sophisticated version, use a mandoline or another hand-held slicing device.
