Assembling a tian usually occupies a slice of my afternoons in Provence. It’s a mind-resetting culinary pause between lunch and apéro, with a background observe of cicadas and, relying on if we’re on holidays or not, keyboard percussion. It’s meditative to face alone within the kitchen, tucking slices of greens tightly collectively, alternating colours and textures within the baking dish, letting your thoughts wander. Don’t be too treasured concerning the ingredient record; the fantastic thing about a tian is which you could and may use no matter you discover within the backyard or on the market. Planted an excessive amount of zucchini and might’t shove any extra off in your neighbors? Use further zucchini. Add eggplant, skip the potatoes, sprinkle bread crumbs on high, throw a swipe of tomato sauce on the underside of the dish. Any tian tastes finest made a bit prematurely and served at room temperature, so make it between emails or swims, letting it sit on the counter till dinner.
