Categories     side-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Good olive oil
1 1/2 cups sliced yellow onion (1 large)
2 cups (1/4-inch-sliced) fennel, top and core removed
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 pound celery root, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (6 ounces with rind)
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs, crusts removed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 13-by-10-by-2 1/2-inch baking dish.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium heat, add the onion and fennel and cook for 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned and tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the onion mixture, sweet potatoes, celery root, Yukon Gold potatoes, cream, chicken stock, Gruyere, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press lightly so the vegetables lie flat all the way to the edge. Combine the bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and distribute evenly on top. Bake uncovered for 1 1/2 hours, until the vegetables are very tender when tested with a small knife and the top is browned and bubbly. Allow to set for 15 minutes and serve hot.
  • Make ahead: Bake in advance and reheat while the turkey rests, or assemble the dish, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then bake before serving.

VEGETABLES AU GRATIN



Vegetables au Gratin image

When summer produce is in stock, there's no better use than a simple gratin. Back in 1987, Pierre Franey considered it an exemplary side dish to a meal of grilled salmon with shrimp. Most of the work here is chopping, but if you're not feeling up to it, you could always use a mandolin or the slicing attachment of a food processor. Cooked on the skillet, the vegetables yield their flavors, before being sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and broiled.

Categories     dinner, weekday, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small eggplant, about 3/4 pound
1 yellow squash, about 1/4 pound
1 small zucchini, about 1/4 pound
7 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste if desired
Fresh pepper to taste
3 red ripe plum tomatoes, about 1/2 pound
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler to high.
  • Cut off and discard ends of the eggplant, squash and zucchini. Cut squash and eggplant into very thin rounds. There should be about 2 cups of each. Cut eggplant lengthwise into quarters and cut each quarter into thin slices. There should be about 4 cups.
  • Heat 6 tablespoons of oil in a skillet and add eggplant, zucchini and squash slices. Cook, shaking skillet and stirring so slices cook evenly, about 8 minutes. Add onions and garlic and stir to blend. Add bay leaf, salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut away and discard core of each tomato. Cut tomatoes crosswise into thin slices.
  • Remove and discard bay leaf. Pour cooked vegetables into a baking dish and arrange tomato slices on top to cover. Brush tomatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle evenly with cheese.
  • Place dish under broiler about 4 inches from heat. Leave broiler door partly open and cook 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Vegetables that hold their shape well, such as potatoes, carrots, and broccoli, are best for gratin. Avoid vegetables that are too delicate, such as leafy greens or tomatoes.
  • Slice the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the vegetables are different sizes, the smaller ones will overcook before the larger ones are done.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese is what gives gratin its rich, creamy flavor. Choose a cheese that melts well, such as Gruyère, cheddar, or Parmesan.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be tender but still have a bit of bite. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve gratin immediately: Gratin is best served hot out of the oven. The cheese sauce will thicken as it cools, so it's important to serve it right away.

Conclusion:

Vegetables au gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables and it's also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a gratin that is sure to please everyone at the table.
