Step 1
Wash and cut the vegetables as described above.
Step 2
Heat an inch of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan.
Step 3
Fry the garlic cloves (skins on) to flavor the oil.
Step 4
Remove the garlic after a couple of minutes and reserve.
Step 5
You are going to fry the rest of the vegetables, one by one, then drain excess oil on paper towels (so have them ready)
Step 6
Start with the zucchini slices, which will fry for about 3 minutes. Remove onto paper towels and sprinkle with a bit of salt.
Step 7
Next fry the potatoes. These will take 5-10 minutes to fully cook. Remove when golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
The peppers can fry together, for about 5 minutes.
Step 9
Fry the onions for about 2 minutes. Make sure you are resting everything on paper towels after frying!
Step 10
Finally, dredge the eggplant slices in flour and fry for about 4 minutes, until browned and crispy.
Step 11
Now assemble the tumbet, which is similar to making a lasagna.
Step 12
Start with a layer of tomato sauce, then eggplant, zucchini, onion, pepper, and potato.
Step 13
Top with another layer of sauce, and a sprinkle of sea salt. You could also add in the garlic cloves (peel first) if you'd like.
Step 14
Bake for 25 minutes at 350°
Step 15
It isn't traditional, but after baking you can add cheese and put it under the broiler. You could also crack a few eggs on top and broil until just cooked. Both would be delicious options!
