PUMPKIN AU GRATIN



Pumpkin Au Gratin image

This is a simple recipe to make. It is quick in preparation time but a bit long in baking time (2 hours). It tastes very nice. (simple recipes doesn't mean you eat bad things). This principle can be used as a base to make other "au gratin" vegetables. I am thinking of making a courgette tian (adapted from a non vegan recipe).
