PEACH, LAMB & TOMATO TIAN (by Maman & France)
This recipe is a special recipe... not only because it's delicious but also because it was made in collaboration with a group of wonderful food bloggers like What Annie's Eating, Square Meal Round Table and Feed the Swimmers. Inspired by the season, we decided to make a recipe from one common ingredient: peaches... because in the Summer time, everyone craves peaches #summerlovespeaches. Allo Maman's contribution to this collaboration is a Peach, lamb and tomato "tian". Originating from Provence (South of France), a tian is a gratin in the Provençal style - baking layered ingredients into a Summery dish. Bon appetit!
