PUMPKIN AU GRATIN



Pumpkin Au Gratin image

This is a simple recipe to make. It is quick in preparation time but a bit long in baking time (2 hours). It tastes very nice. (simple recipes doesn't mean you eat bad things). This principle can be used as a base to make other "au gratin" vegetables. I am thinking of making a courgette tian (adapted from a non vegan recipe).

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin. Use a small, sugar pumpkin that will fit in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Make sure the pumpkin is fresh and has no blemishes.
  • Cook the pumpkin until it is tender. You can do this by boiling, roasting, or steaming the pumpkin. If you are boiling the pumpkin, cook it until it is fork-tender. If you are roasting the pumpkin, cook it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it is tender. If you are steaming the pumpkin, cook it for 15-20 minutes, or until it is tender.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the pumpkin. This will help to prevent the pumpkin from breaking apart.
  • Layer the pumpkin and cheese in the baking dish. Start with a layer of pumpkin, then add a layer of cheese. Repeat these layers until you have used all of the pumpkin and cheese.
  • Bake the pumpkin au gratin until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the pumpkin au gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from running out.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin au gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin, and it is also a healthy and nutritious dish. With its creamy cheese sauce, tender pumpkin, and crispy breadcrumb topping, pumpkin au gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
