AUBERGINE, POTATO & GOAT'S CHEESE GRATIN



Aubergine, potato & goat's cheese gratin image

This healthy aubergine gratin makes a moreish side dish with lamb but can be eaten veggie as well

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Side dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6-8 as a side dish, 4-6 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 10

olive oil
3 aubergines , sliced thinly lengthways
2 medium red onions , very thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves , crushed
500g waxy potatoes
5 large plum tomatoes , thinly sliced
4 lemon thyme sprigs, leaves picked
zest 1/2 unwaxed lemon
175g soft goat's cheese , crumbled
100g good-quality black olives , pitted and chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat 11 /2 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan and cook the aubergines in batches, browning on both sides, then lower the heat and cook until they are soft. You will need to add more olive oil as you cook, but try not to add too much. (Roast the aubergines if you prefer - brush them with olive oil, place on baking sheets and cook for about 15 mins. I just like the texture better if they are fried for this.) Season them while they're cooking. As each batch is ready, remove from the pan and lay them on a double layer of kitchen paper.
  • Heat another 1 tbsp of oil in the pan and add the onions. Cook over a medium heat until softening, about 10-12 mins, then add the garlic and cook for another few mins.
  • Slice the potatoes very, very finely. It's best to do this on a mandolin if you have one - it takes more work (and a lot more time) to cut them with a knife.
  • Brush the bottom of a gratin dish with olive oil, and arrange the vegetables in layers. Start with half the potatoes, then half the aubergine, onions and tomatoes. Sprinkle the thyme, lemon zest, goat's cheese, olives and seasoning, along with little drizzles of olive oil on the layers as you go. Add another layer of aubergine, onions and tomatoes, again adding the other ingredients as you go. Finish with the rest of the potatoes, arranging them neatly on top. Brush with olive oil and bake for 45 mins. The gratin should be soft, the potatoes tender and the top golden.

Categories     Olive     Potato     Tomato     Side     Bake     Casserole/Gratin     Goat Cheese     Winter     Gourmet     Maryland     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon dried herbes de Provence*, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon sugar
6 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 beef bouillon cube if desired
1/3 cup Niçoise or other brine-cured black olives, pitted and chopped
2 russet (baking) potatoes (about 1 pound total), scrubbed
3 ounces fresh mild goat cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves (wash and dry before chopping)
*available at specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat bottom and sides of an 11- by 8-inch (6-cup) gratin dish or other shallow baking dish with 1 tablespoon oil.
  • In a heavy skillet cook onion in 2 tablespoons oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add herbes de Provence, sugar, tomatoes, bouillon cube, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes and stir in olives.
  • Cut potatoes crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices and arrange one third in baking dish. Spread half of tomato mixture over potatoes and top with half of goat cheese. Continue layering potatoes, tomato mixture, and goat cheese in same manner, ending with potatoes. Drizzle remaining tablespoon oil over gratin and bake, covered with foil, in middle of oven 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake gratin 20 to 30 minutes more, or until potatoes are very tender. Sprinkle gratin with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes. Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a good quality goat cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the gratin.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You could add herbs, spices, or other vegetables to the gratin.
  • Serve the gratin hot out of the oven. It's best enjoyed fresh.
