ROOT VEGETABLE GRATIN

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.

Turn off the heat and whisk in the flour. Strain the cream mixture through a colander into a container with a pour spout and discard the thyme stems, garlic and cheese rind.
• Spread the potato rounds in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour a third of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup grated cheese. Next, shingle half the carrots and parsnips in alternating rows in an even layer. Pour a third of the cream mixture over the top, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and 1/2 cup cheese. Finally, shingle the remaining parsnips and carrots in alternating rows in an even layer. Use your hands to lightly press down on the vegetables to even out, if needed. Pour the remainder of the cream mixture over the top, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining cheese (about 1 cup).
• Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the vegetables are fairly tender and the sauce is simmering, about 1 hour. Remove the foil and sprinkle the top of the gratin with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese is lightly browned and the vegetables are tender, another 30 minutes.

AUTUMN ROOT VEGETABLE GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400° F. Put the milk in a small heavy saucepan and peel and smash one of the garlic cloves. Add it to the milk and then heat the milk over low heat until it just starts to bubble at the edges. Remove from the heat, add the nutmeg and let steep while you continue with the recipe.
• Peel the second garlic clove, cut it in half and rub the cut side around the inside of a 6-cup baking dish no more than 2 inches deep. Rub 1 tablespoon of the oil all over the inside of the dish.
• Peel the squash, potatoes and parsnips and cut them into very thin slices (1/8-inch thick). If you have a mandoline, now's the time to use it.
• Layer the vegetables into the baking dish, alternating between squash, potato and parsnip, and fanning them into concentric, overlapping circles. Season generously with salt and pepper and sprinkle a third of the cheese and a third of the chopped herbs over the slices. Repeat twice, making the top layer as neat and tidy as you can.
• Remove the garlic clove from the hot milk and pour the milk evenly over the vegetables. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top of the gratin and bake for about 50 minutes, until the top is browned and bubbly and the vegetables yield easily when you poke them with a sharp knife. If the vegetables are tender but the top isn't as brown as you'd like, turn on the broiler for a couple of minutes -- watch it carefully so it doesn't burn! Let the gratin cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
