Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Olive oil
1 large onion, small diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups peeled, seeded, chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon minced thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons sugar
3 Japanese eggplants, peeled in alternating 1-inch strips, leaving some of the skin on, sliced diagonally into 1/4-inch thick slices
3 small zucchini, ends trimmed, and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
1 cup grated mozzarella
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan set over medium heat, add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, add the onions and saute until translucent, but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add the tomatoes and cook until they start to give off their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme and season with salt and pepper. Add the sugar and cook until there is almost no liquid left, about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Lay the eggplant and zucchini out on a flat surface and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.
  • In another large saute pan set over medium high heat, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil just starts to smoke, add the eggplant in 1 layer and cook just until golden brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. You might need to do this in batches. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Blot the top with additional paper towels.
  • In the same pan, add more olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil just starts to smoke, add the zucchini in 1 layer and saute until just browned on each side, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
  • In a shallow roasting pan or baking dish, spread half of the tomato sauce evenly over the bottom. Begin layering the eggplant and zucchini along the outside of the baking dish so they are overlapping slightly. Continue until the pan is full and the eggplant and zucchini is used. Cover the top with the remaining tomato sauce, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top, covering completely.
  • Place the baking dish inside a large baking dish. Pour hot water into the larger baking dish about half way up the sides to make a water bath. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Nonstick cooking spray
2 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup flour
1 cup grated Cheddar
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • In a small pot, heat the milk with the thyme over medium-low heat until hot.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the canola oil. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the flour and cook stirring constantly until the flour is lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the hot milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until very thick. Stir in the Cheddar, pumpkin pie spice and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Coat the bottom of the prepared baking dish with a thin layer of the sauce. Place one layer of carrots slightly overlapping in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with an overlapping layer of the parsnips. Pour a third of the sauce over top. Repeat with two more layers each of the carrots and parsnips, ending with the sauce.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Evenly sprinkle over the top of the gratin.
  • Bake until the gratin is bubbling and the topping is browned, and when pierced through the vegetables yield easily, about 1 1/2 hours. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minute before serving.

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.

Categories     dinner, weekday, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small eggplant, about 3/4 pound
1 yellow squash, about 1/4 pound
1 small zucchini, about 1/4 pound
7 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste if desired
Fresh pepper to taste
3 red ripe plum tomatoes, about 1/2 pound
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler to high.
  • Cut off and discard ends of the eggplant, squash and zucchini. Cut squash and eggplant into very thin rounds. There should be about 2 cups of each. Cut eggplant lengthwise into quarters and cut each quarter into thin slices. There should be about 4 cups.
  • Heat 6 tablespoons of oil in a skillet and add eggplant, zucchini and squash slices. Cook, shaking skillet and stirring so slices cook evenly, about 8 minutes. Add onions and garlic and stir to blend. Add bay leaf, salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut away and discard core of each tomato. Cut tomatoes crosswise into thin slices.
  • Remove and discard bay leaf. Pour cooked vegetables into a baking dish and arrange tomato slices on top to cover. Brush tomatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle evenly with cheese.
  • Place dish under broiler about 4 inches from heat. Leave broiler door partly open and cook 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables. Vegetables that hold their shape well, such as potatoes, carrots, and broccoli, are good choices for au gratin. Vegetables that are too soft or watery, such as tomatoes and zucchini, are not ideal.
  • Slice the vegetables evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the gratin a rich, flavorful sauce.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Serve the gratin hot, straight out of the oven. It is a delicious and comforting dish on its own, but it can also be served with a side of roasted chicken or fish.

Conclusion:

Vegetables au gratin is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can create a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion.
