PROVENCAL SPINACH GRATIN



Provencal Spinach Gratin image

There are a few versions of spinach gratin in Provence (there it is called a tian). This one is all about spinach - no eggs or cheese, just spinach and lots of garlic, a bit of flour to absorb moisture and hold everything together, and bread crumbs to make the top nice and crisp.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds bunch spinach, stemmed and washed in 2 changes of water, or 1 1/2 pounds baby spinach
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons fresh or dry bread crumbs (preferably-whole wheat)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish or gratin and rub with a cut side of one of the garlic cloves before you chop the garlic.
  • Steam the spinach above an inch of boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, until it is wilted. You will probably have to do this in batches. I like to use a pasta pot with an insert for steaming spinach, as I can get a lot of it into the insert. Rinse briefly with cold water, squeeze gently (you don't have to squeeze dry) and chop.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the spinach, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, flour, milk and parsley. Spoon into the gratin dish in an even layer. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top and drizzle on the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the top is browned and the mixture is sizzling. Serve as a starter or a side.

Creamed-Spinach Gratin image

Nutty Gruyere cheese and crunchy toasted breadcrumbs take the classic steakhouse side to the next level. It'll quickly become a family favorite.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes

Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds baby spinach
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for dish
1/4 cup finely diced shallot
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3/4 cup finely grated Gruyere
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 1 1/2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to a simmer. Add spinach; cover and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, pressing out as much liquid as possible with the back of a wooden spoon; coarsely chop.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add flour; cook, stirring, until mixture is pale golden and has a slightly nutty aroma, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour in milk, whisking constantly, until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly along bottom of pan, until bubbling and thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat; add mustard and 1/2 cup cheese. Whisk until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, stir together spinach and cheese sauce until spinach is completely coated. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and panko; cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush a 7-by-11-inch oval gratin dish with butter. Transfer spinach mixture to dish; sprinkle top with toasted panko and remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake until browned on top and edges are starting to bubble, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Prep the Spinach: Before cooking, make sure to wash and thoroughly dry the spinach leaves. Removing excess moisture will help prevent the dish from becoming watery.
  • Don't Overcook the Pork: To maintain its tenderness and juiciness, avoid overcooking the pork. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • Use a Quality Cheese: Choose a cheese that melts well and has a bold flavor, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or a blend of both. Freshly grated cheese is always best for optimal texture and taste.
  • Layer Wisely: When assembling the casserole, layer the ingredients in a logical order. Start with the spinach, followed by the pork, and finish with the cheese. This will ensure even cooking and prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Broil for a Golden Crust: Before serving, broil the casserole for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown. This adds an extra layer of flavor and texture to the dish.

Conclusion:

Au Gratin Spinach n' Pork is a delightful casserole that combines the flavors of tender pork, creamy spinach, and melted cheese. It's a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side and is perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. With these tips in mind, you'll be able to create a delicious and satisfying Au Gratin Spinach n' Pork casserole that your family and friends will love. Enjoy!
