Vegetable Gratin

Rinse and slice the summer squash. Saute the summer squash slices in hot oil until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Rinse the leeks and cut into rings. Rinse the peppers, halve and cut into strips. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Saute the garlic, leeks and peppers in 1 tablespoon of hot oil for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the thyme and basil and season with salt and pepper.

Drain and slice the mozzarella.

Preheat the oven to 120°C (approximately 250°F). Grease a baking dish with oil.

Alternately layer the summer squash, leek and pepper mixture, mozzarella and parmesan in the baking dish, ending with the cheese. Bake for about 25 minutes, until golden brown.
