Directions
1.
In a shallow pan rub roast with rosemary, the 1 tablespoon olive oil, and garlic. Cover; refrigerate overnight.
2.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place meat, back-bone side down, in a shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer. Roast pork for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 hours or until thermometer registers 155 degrees F. Remove roast from oven; cover with foil, let stand 15 minutes before carving. (Meat temperature will rise 5 degrees F while standing.)
3.
In a 12-inch skillet heat 1/2 cup olive oil over medium-high heat. Add eggplant to skillet, cut side down; cook about 10 minutes or until eggplant flesh is darkened and tender, adding pattypan squash to skillet the last 5 minutes of cooking. Stir in beans, broth, sage, and lemon peel. Cook, covered, 5 minutes more or until squash is tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve pork with eggplant mixture. Makes 8 servings.

Test Kitchen Tip
Letting roast stand before carving allows juices to reabsorb.

Jerry Traunfeld created this gorgeous gratin to highlight ripe, juicy tomatoes and other late-summer vegetables, which moisten the crispy bread crust as they bake. "Don't be afraid to lift a corner with a spatula and check to see whether the bread is toasted," he says. "When it's browned, it's done."
