Verdict and Serving Suggestions

Tian Provençal is a classic French dish that showcases the flavors of fresh vegetables, herbs, and olive oil. This dish is perfect as a side dish or a light main course. It is vegetarian, gluten-free, and can be made vegan by omitting the cheese. Serve it alongside roasted meats, grilled fish, or a crusty baguette. Add some crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese for an extra layer of flavor. This dish is also great as a make-ahead meal, and reheats well for leftovers.
