ARTICHOKE AND SPINACH GRATIN



Artichoke and Spinach Gratin image

This gratin contains less cream that you might expect, and it's a simple dish, although preparation of the artichokes might take a little extra time. "Everybody thinks there is a lot of complexity to artichokes," said the chef Hugh Acheson. "Cooking and cleaning an artichoke is not difficult. There is just that time. We should take the inconvenient route away from canned artichokes which taste like canned."

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and minced
1 1/2 quarts cleaned fresh spinach
3 large, fresh globe artichokes, trimmed and cooked, then quartered lengthwise
3 soft-boiled eggs, peeled and cubed
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup leek crema (recipe follows)
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch of kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup grated vegetarian Parmesan
1/4 cup freshly toasted breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 leek, white only, cleaned and minced
Pinch of kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, melt the teaspoon of butter over medium heat. Add the leek and 1 tablespoon of water. Cover and cook, steaming the leeks for about 5 minutes, until very tender.
  • Add the salt, then the cream, and warm through. Remove the saucepan from the heat, puree the mixture in a blender and strain through a fine strainer. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Butter a gratin dish with 1 tablespoon of butter. Set aside.
  • In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the onions and sweat them down, cooking for 20 minutes until caramelized and full of flavor. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
  • To the pan, which is off the heat but still warm, add the spinach, artichokes, eggs, thyme, parsley, leek crema and nutmeg. Gently mix together and season with the salt and pepper. Pour this into your buttered gratin dish and top with Parmesan and breadcrumbs.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget any crucial ingredients.
  • Choose Fresh Spinach: Opt for fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water before adding it to the dish.
  • Don't Overcook the Spinach: Cook the spinach just until it wilts to maintain its bright green color and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use High-Quality Artichoke Hearts: Choose canned or jarred artichoke hearts that are packed in water or brine, not oil. This will help reduce the fat content of the dish.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: Opt for a flavorful cheese like Parmesan or Gruyère for the best taste. Freshly grated cheese is always preferred over pre-packaged shredded cheese.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings according to your preference. Add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder if desired.
  • Let it Rest: After baking the gratin, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dish to set.
