    4                    plum tomatoes -- long and narrow
    4      small         zucchini -- ~1 1/2 x 6"
    4      large         garlic cloves -- peeled
    2      tablespoons   virgin olive oil
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
      1/4  teaspoon      black pepper
      1/2  teaspoon      herbes de Provence
                         vegetable cooking spray -- to coat baking dish
 
 PREHEAT OVEN TO 400F.
 
 Wash tomatoes and cut each lengthwise into 4 slices.  Wash zucchini and trim
 off flower ends.  Then, starting at flower end, cut each zucchini lengthwise
 into 1/4" slices, leaving slices attached at the setm end so they can be
 opened like a fan.  Each zucchini should have 4 slits.
 
 Arrange zucchini side by side in a lightly oiled roasting pan, with enough
 space in between them to fan out.  Slide a slice of tomato into each slit and
 press down firmly on zucchini to create a fan with alternating segments of
 zucchini and tomato.
 
 Cut each garlic clove lengthwise into 8 thin slices; slide slices into fans
 alongside tomato slices.  Brush entire surface of fans with oil, and sprinkle
 salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence on top.  Bake 30 minutes, oir until
 vegetables are soft and fans are nicely browned on top.  Using large spatula,
 transfer fans to 4 plates.  Serve immediately.
