Preparation
- Step 1
In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, half the herbs and salt. Cook gently for 5 minutes.
- Step 2
Remove onions to a gratin dish, spreading them evenly over bottom.
- Step 3
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In the same skillet, heat another 2 or 3 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, salt and pepper to taste and the remaining herbs. Saute, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes, or until zucchini begins to color.
- Step 4
Distribute the zucchini over the onions. Tuck slices of tomato and olives into the mixture. Drizzle the remaining oil over top. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until some of the juices have evaporated. Serve warm or at room temperature, with a wedge of lemon or cruet of vinegar, if desired.

This is just okay. It's a bit bland. Needs more of everything - garlic, herbs - and though the onions are the best part, I would suggest cooking them longer so they caramelize. A few minutes at the end under the broiler would also be a good idea.
