Squash rice gratin

My friend forwarded Zucchini rice gratin recipe The good thing about recipes from friends is that they come with dos and donts like this one came with the 'Dont slice the Zucchini too thin or it will burn'.
She had also sent a picture of the dish with the bright red tomatoes on top.

After seeing dozens of squash soups and other recipes, I had few waiting for the great inspiration which happens to be substituting Zucchini in the Rice Gratin. If I hadnt added my personal touch of burning the garlic, it would have not added to the bitterness of squash which bothered my husband more. As the maker, I had to shut up and just eat.
I could claim that my attention was split with split my bill or baby's wails but I cant kid - I was lazing on the couch, letting the fire do its magic and only when my nose figured some burnt .. oh onions.. I knew I messed up.

I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
