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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Vegetables that hold their shape well, such as potatoes, carrots, and parsnips, are best for gratin. Avoid vegetables that are too watery, such as tomatoes and zucchini, as they will make the gratin watery.
  • Slice the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in gratin, so be sure to use a cheese that you love. A sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan cheese are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be tender but still slightly firm.
  • Serve the gratin hot: Gratin is best served hot out of the oven. It can be reheated, but it's not as good as when it's first made.
