with fresh ingredients

Peel the carrots, kohlrabi, and onions. Slice the carrots very thinly, quarter or eighth the kohlrabi (depending on size) and also slice very thinly, halve the onions and cut lengthwise into strips. Place the carrots, kohlrabi, and onions in a bowl, mix well, and set aside for now. Now wash the bell peppers, tomatoes, and zucchini. Quarter the bell peppers, then cut the quarters crosswise into strips about 0.5 cm wide. Cut the tomatoes and zucchini into slices about 0.5 cm wide. Slice the mozzarella and set all ingredients aside for now. Grease a baking dish well with butter and preheat the oven to 225°C. Peel the garlic clove and press it through a garlic press into the oil. Finely chop the basil, mix it in, and season with salt and pepper. Now add the prepared vegetables to the baking dish. Cover the base with the carrot, kohlrabi, and onion mixture, season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper, and drizzle with a little basil and garlic oil. Then evenly distribute the bell peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes over the top, season generously with freshly ground pepper, and drizzle with the remaining basil and garlic oil. Finally, spread the sliced ​​mozzarella or grated Emmental cheese over the casserole and bake everything on the middle rack for 30-35 minutes. This casserole can be eaten as a main course, perhaps with baguette or toast, but it also tastes great with steamed fish, plain steaks, or meatballs. If you prefer the vegetables a little softer, simply leave the casserole in the oven for 5-10 minutes longer. Have a pepper mill ready for seasoning.
