1/2

cup diced onion

1

tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped

1

cup cooked brown rice

1

tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1

plum (Roma) tomato, diced

1/2

teaspoon salt

teaspoon pepper

1

medium zucchini, thinly sliced

1

Preparation

Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 1 1/2 to 2-quart shallow casserole (gratin dish) with cooking spray.

In small bowl, stir together onion, half of the thyme leaves, the rice, oil, tomato, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Spoon into casserole; spread evenly. Alternately layer zucchini and squash, overlapping slightly, on top of rice mixture. Sprinkle with remaining thyme and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
