ROASTED VEGETABLE AU GRATIN RECIPE



Roasted Vegetable Au Gratin Recipe image

Au Gratin was probably one of my very first continental dishes I had as a child. What I loved about it was it's creamy and cheesy taste. I make it so often at home as my boys at home love it too. And it's a great way to sneak in the veggies as well. This recipe of Roasted Vegetable Au Gratin Recipe has Britannia's Asli pepper cheese spread which gives an delicious twist to the cheese sauce. This cheese sauce is topped over some roasted zucchini, carrots and green beans. Then the dish is layered with grated Britannia Cheese and baked till the cheese on top is gooey melted and golden brown in colour. I'm sure just reading about it is making your mouth water.

VEGETABLE AU GRATIN - BAKED VEGETABLES IN A THICK CREAMY SAUCE



Vegetable au gratin - Baked vegetables in a thick creamy sauce image

Vegetables baked in a creamy sauce with a crust of cheese and homemade breadcrumbs seasoned with oregano, basil and thyme.

Provided by Sujata Shukla

Categories     Main Dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups Cauliflower (florets)
1 cup Potato (cubes)
2 cups peppers (Red, green yellow diced)
1 cup Beans (chopped)
1/2 cup Brocolli (thin florets)
1/2 cup Green peas ((shelled))
1/2 cup Carrots (sliced)
1/2 cup Pineapple (sliced)
1 Onions (sliced (large))
2 sprigs Parsley (minced)
1 tbsp Butter
1 cup Cheddar cheese ((grated))
1 cup Breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon Oregano (dry)
1/4 teaspoon Basil (dry)
1/4 teaspoon Thyme (dry)
1/4 cup Flour
2 cups milk (Cold)
2 tbsps Butter
to taste Salt
1 tsp White Pepper
pinch Nutmeg (a generous)

Steps:

  • To make breadcrumbs (Time: 15 minutes)
  • It is very satisfying to make your own breadcrumbs. Use any bread ( I had a nice homemade rye bread). For 1 cup of crumbs you need about 4 slices of bread. The bread need not be fresh, but it should not be stale. Stale bread will leave a stale taste!
  • Tear the bread (with its crust) into pieces and run in the food processor for 30 seconds.
  • Bake the crumbs for 10 minutes spread out on a baking by sheet, at just below 150 deg C (300 F) in a preheated oven.
  • Remove from the oven and scatter the seasonings on to the crumbs. ( I add seasoning only when I'm using the bread crumbs in a gratin.) Store in an airtight container till required.
  • To prepare the vegetables: (Time 15 minutes)
  • While the breadcrumbs are baking, slice the cauliflower and broccoli vertically into thin florets, retaining their shape. Peel and cube the potato and carrot. Slice the peppers and pineapple into slim pieces. Slice the beans into small rounds. Shell the peas. Wash, dry and mince the parsley, and set it aside till required.
  • Blanch the vegetables individually in boiling water for 2-3 minutes - the peppers need only 10 -15 seconds of blanching. The sweet peppers can be blanched together, cauliflower and broccoli can be blanched together. Drain and immediately pop them each into a pan of water with ice cubes added to it. Drain after a minute and set aside and blanch the next vegetable. Blanching retains the bright colours of the vegetables.
  • Alternatively you could Steam the vegetables except for the peas for 5-7 minutes. Steaming retains the flavours of the vegetables. Soak the peas in a bowl of water. Remove the peppers and broccoli after 2 minutes before they discolour. You could also instead of steaming or blanching, microwave the vegetables for 2 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 deg C (350 deg F). Grease an oven proof casserole dish.
  • To cook the vegetables: (Time 5 minutes)
  • Heat oil in a pan and add the onions. Sauté till the onions are translucent. (About 2 minutes). Drain and add all the vegetables and sauté for 2-3 minutes till all water evaporates. Any water in the vegetables could make for a soggy unappetising gratin.
  • Add salt to taste, take off from the heat and pour into the prepared dish.
  • Spread the vegetables evenly and mix them so you don't have just one type of vegetable in one part of the casserole. Scatter the slices of pineapple and the minced parsley.
  • To make the sauce: (Time: 10 minutes)
  • In a hot pan, melt the butter, add the flour. Cook the flour in the butter till it starts to look slightly pink and the raw flour smell disappears (about 2 minutes). Stir frequently to ensure the flour does not burn or overcook.
  • Keeping the heat on low and add the cold milk (warm or hot milk can create lumps) while stirring the mixture with a whisk.
  • Stir continuously and mix the milk and flour smoothly together so that no lumps are formed. Once the flour is dissolved in the milk, continue stirring till it starts to thicken. The sauce can easily catch and char at the bottom of the pan, so stirring is important.
  • Add salt and white pepper. (Black pepper may be used if white pepper powder is not available.) Once the sauce becomes thick and smooth, add the nutmeg, stir and Remove from the heat. Immediately add half the grated cheese. Mix the cheese well into the sauce.
  • Pour the sauce over the vegetables and lightly turn with a spoon so that the sauce goes into the gaps between the vegetables.
  • Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and scatter the reserved cheese on top.
  • To Bake the Au gratin: (Time 15 minutes)
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes at 180 C (about 350F) or till the the cheese has melted and starts to brown slightly.
  • Serve hot with your favourite bread.

RATATOUILLE DI VERDURE AL FORNO (RICETTA FACILE)



RATATOUILLE DI VERDURE AL FORNO (ricetta facile) image

Ratatouille di verdure al forno: ricetta leggera e versatile, da usare come antipasto, per condire pasta e riso o farcire panini e torte salate.

Provided by Ada Parisi

Categories     Contorni

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 1

2 melanzane lunghe1 peperone rosso e 1 giallo non grandi300 grammi di pomodori Pachino o Datterini3 zucchine romanesche non grandi1 cipolla di Tropeapane grattugiato, quanto bastaolio extravergine di oliva, quanto bastasale e pepe, quanto bastazucchero semolato, quanto bastaerbe aromatiche a piacere (origano, basilico, timo, maggiorana)

Steps:

  • Ratatouille di verdure al forno
  • Per preparare la ratatouille di verdure al forno preriscaldare il forno a 200 gradi statico.
  • Lavare con cura tutte le verdure. E' importante che affettiate le verdure cercando di ricavare dei pezzi di misura regolare, in modo che cuociano uniformemente.
  • Tagliare i pomodori a metà. Eliminare le estremità delle melanzane e tagliarle a fette spesse 2 centimetri, quindi a strisce e a cubetti (non piccolissimi, ricordate che le melanzane perdono molto volume in cottura). Eliminare il picciolo ai peperoni, quindi togliere i semi e le parti bianche e filamentose. Tagliare anche i peperoni a pezzetti regolari.
  • Tagliare le zucchine a metà nel senso della lunghezza, quindi a fettine spesse almeno 1 centimetro e mezzo.
  • Pulire la cipolla eliminando la buccia e affettarla a rondelle non troppo sottili.
  • Rivestire una placca da forno con la carta forno e spennellare l'intera superficie con un po' di olio extravergine di oliva. Distribuire sulla carta forno un po' di sale fino e del pane grattugiato. Disporre sulla teglia le verdure. A me piace presentarle in modo ordinato e le dispongo a strisce verticali in base agli ingredienti. Se preferite, potete anche mescolare le verdure prima di metterle in teglia. La cosa fondamentale è che le verdure siano distribuite in un solo strato, altrimenti il risultato non sarà quello atteso.
  • Distribuire i pomodori in teglia con la parte della buccia rivolta verso il basso. Per le altre verdure non dovete preoccuparvi. Condire i pomodori con sale e zucchero e le altre verdure soltanto con il sale. Distribuire su tutte le verdure un po' di pane grattugiato, quindi irrorare con olio extravergine di oliva. Completare mettendo sulle verdure la cipolla a rondelle e le erbe aromatiche che preferite.
  • Cuocere in forno statico a 200 gradi finché le verdure non saranno cotte. Buon appetito!

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the vegetables. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • For a more flavorful gratin, roast the vegetables before assembling the dish. This will caramelize the edges and add a smoky flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables to create a colorful and flavorful gratin. Some good options include zucchini, squash, eggplant, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. A good melting cheese, such as Gruyère or Fontina, is a good choice, but you can also try using a harder cheese, such as Parmesan, for a more nutty flavor.
  • Serve the gratin immediately after it comes out of the oven. This will ensure that it is hot and bubbly.

Baked vegetable gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste. With its colorful vegetables and creamy cheese sauce, it is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
