Tian of Vegetables
Vegetables are so much a part of our life that we always have a dish, if not two nightly. This is a very simple and yet full of flavor, favorite French dish. This is how I present it or the vegetables that I prefer. However, you can add thinly sliced potatoes, eggplant as well. Great side dish to all meats, fish and poultry.
