Categories     side-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium Spanish onions, sliced
20 ounces baby spinach
2 2/3 cups cream cheese (21 ounces), cut into small cubes
1 1/3 cups vegetable stock
1 cup full-fat yogurt
Zest of 2 oranges
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 sprigs fresh sage, minced
4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
4 large carrots, sliced on the bias 1/8-inch thick
1 1/2 cups toasted breadcrumbs
1 cup pomegranate seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large pan, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onion and saute until translucent and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. In stages, add the spinach and cook until all of the spinach is incorporated and cooked through. Set aside.
  • In a saucepot over medium-high heat, combine the cream cheese and vegetable stock, whisking to form a smooth mixture. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat to medium and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the yogurt and orange zest and whisk until incorporated, then remove from the heat. Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper and fold together.
  • Coat the inside of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the remaining olive oil. Place a thin layer of the spinach mixture on the bottom of the dish and sprinkle with a third of the sage. Place a layer of sweet potatoes on top of the spinach and season with salt and pepper. Top with a single layer of carrots, then a layer of the spinach mixture and some sage. Repeat the steps once more, finishing with a layer of the spinach mixture on top, followed by a sprinkle of sage.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the potatoes and carrots are tender, 1 hour and 20 minutes. Remove the foil, coat with the breadcrumbs and continue to bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, an additional 10 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. When ready to serve, top with the pomegranate seeds.

Thanks to a challenge in the TOH online community a few years back, my husband and I tried parsnips and discovered that we liked them! In fact, I started growing them in my garden and have been trying new things with them, including this recipe. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

ROOT VEGETABLE GRATIN

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1 1/4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons salted butter
10 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic
1 Parmesan rind
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large Yukon gold potatoes (about 1 pound), peels on, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound manchego cheese, grated
3 thick carrots (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
3 thick parsnips (about 1 pound), thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine the heavy whipping cream, chicken stock, butter, thyme, garlic and Parmesan rind in a small saucepot. Place over medium-low heat and cook just until simmering, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the flour. Strain the cream mixture through a colander into a container with a pour spout and discard the thyme stems, garlic and cheese rind.
  • Spread the potato rounds in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour a third of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup grated cheese. Next, shingle half the carrots and parsnips in alternating rows in an even layer. Pour a third of the cream mixture over the top, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and 1/2 cup cheese. Finally, shingle the remaining parsnips and carrots in alternating rows in an even layer. Use your hands to lightly press down on the vegetables to even out, if needed. Pour the remainder of the cream mixture over the top, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining cheese (about 1 cup).
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the vegetables are fairly tender and the sauce is simmering, about 1 hour. Remove the foil and sprinkle the top of the gratin with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese is lightly browned and the vegetables are tender, another 30 minutes.
  • Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For a crispy topping, use panko breadcrumbs instead of grated cheese.
  • To add a cheesy flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon.
  • To make it ahead of time, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it overnight. Then, bake it as directed before serving.
  • Serve with a green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Carrot and potato au gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy sauce, crispy topping, and tender vegetables, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
