Zucchini Flan With Tomato Coulis

Use up all the zucchini from the garden! In late summer, i always eat zucchini and tomatoes to hold on as long as i can before i give into autumn. I haven't tried this recipe. It's from the ny times (9.3.03)

Steps

Put half the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add zucchini , a large pinch of salt and some pepper.
Cook , stirring occasionally , until zucchini wilts and gives up its liquid.
Add 1 tablespoon garlic.
Continue to cook until zucchini browns slightly.
Meanwhile , heat oven to 350 degrees and set a kettle of water to boil.
Beat together the eggs , cream and more salt and pepper.
When zucchini is done , let it cool slightly , then scoop slices into egg mixture , using a slotted spoon.
Stir.
Lightly grease an 8-by-4-inch nonstick loaf pan and pour zucchini mixture into it.
Place pan in a baking dish and put in oven.
Add water to come as far up sides of loaf pan as is practical.
Bake until flan is set , but still slightly jiggly in middle , about 30 minutes.
While flan cooks , make tomato coulis: put remaining oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add tomatoes , remaining garlic , salt and pepper , basil and sugar.
Bring to a boil , cover and simmer about 15 min.
