CRUNCHY CORN GRATIN



Crunchy Corn Gratin image

We really liked this recipe from Canadian Living, because it can be made ahead. The big thing for us is having a vegetable that stays hot, so that we're not always running for the microwave to heat veggies during dinner. This one definitely serves the purpose.

CHARD AND SWEET CORN GRATIN



Chard and Sweet Corn Gratin image

This is the template that I use for most of my main-dish vegetable gratins. I like gratins hot, warm or at room temperature. I fold the aromatic vegetable filling into a mixture of eggs beaten with milk, salt, pepper and cheese, usually Gruyère, and then add rice or, in this case, corn.

Categories     vegetables

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 generous bunch (3/4 to 1 pound) Swiss or rainbow chard, stemmed and washed
Salt
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Black pepper
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 to 3 ounces Gruyère, grated (1/2 to 3/4 cup), to taste
Kernels from 2 cooked ears sweet corn (1 1/2 to 2 cups)
1 ounce Parmesan, grated (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish or gratin.
  • Blanch chard: Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you stem and wash the chard leaves. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add chard leaves. (Set aside stems for another use, or discard.) Blanch 1 to 2 minutes, until tender but still bright. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, then drain thoroughly and squeeze out excess water; chop medium-fine.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet and add garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, then stir in rosemary, thyme and chopped blanched chard. Season with salt and pepper and stir over medium heat until chard is nicely coated with oil, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in chard mixture and Gruyère. Stir in corn and mix well. Scrape into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan over top and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until nicely browned on the top and sides. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

CORN AND VEGETABLE GRATIN WITH CUMIN

This pretty gratin is not as rich as it tastes. I blend the kernels from one of the ears of corn with eggs and milk for a sweet, rich custard that holds it all together. Cumin seeds accent the mixture and give it a Southwestern twist.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a 2-quart gratin or baking dish. Set aside the kernels from one of the ears of corn.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Corn: Choose fresh corn on the cob with plump, tightly packed kernels. Avoid corn that has dried out or has signs of damage.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and thyme, add a burst of flavor to the corn gratin. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount you use by half.
  • Don't Overcook the Corn: Overcooked corn will become tough and lose its natural sweetness. Cook the corn just until it is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in corn gratin, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Gruyère cheese are both good choices.
  • Season to Taste: Be sure to season the corn gratin to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little extra spice.

Conclusion:

Corn gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy, cheesy texture and sweet corn flavor, corn gratin is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
