French Tian with Goat Cheese and Bread

A quiet garden of vegetables, slowly bloomed in the oven. When I first made this dish people called it ratatouille probably because of the movie. But a French follower gently corrected me It’s actually called a tian. I loved that I liked the idea of calling something by its real name even if it's quiet. This version isn’t traditional It’s shaped like a flower slow and careful the way I like to cook. It’s a dish that invites pause A soft kind of beauty.
