CREAMED ONION GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a gratin dish or medium casserole.
• Cut off the root and tip of the onions. Slice in half length-wise and peel. Lay the cut-side of the onion down and slice length-wise into thick wedges.
• In a Dutch oven or heavy pot, melt two tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 40 minutes. Add the sherry and simmer until it evaporates. Remove the onions from the pan and pour through a fine mesh sieve. Let them drain while making the bechamel sauce. (Draining the onions prevents a runny gratin because the onions will continue to release more liquid in the oven.)
• In the same Dutch oven, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for one minute. Add the scalded milk and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce is very thick. Remove from the heat. Fold in the Gruyere and stir until completely melted. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the onions to the cheese sauce and toss to thoroughly coat. Pour the onion mixture into the gratin dish.

GREEN TOMATO AND VIDALIA ONION GRATIN

Steps:

Remove 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet and stir into the bread crumbs. Add the onion rounds to the skillet in batches and cook, without breaking the round slices apart, until there is some golden color, about 5 to 6 minutes per side.
• To assemble the gratin, overlap the green tomato slices in 1 row in a large baking dish, about 9 by 11 inches. Next, make a row slightly overlapping of the partially cooked onion rounds, being careful to keep the slices intact. Repeat steps until all tomatoes and onions are used. Season tomatoes and onions lightly with salt and heavily with pepper. Crumble the bacon over the vegetables; sprinkle the grated Cheddar over the top followed by the bread crumbs.

Core the wedges, then cut them in half lengthwise. Finally, slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide ribbons. Return to colander and drain for another 5 minutes. Place in a large bowl with the potatoes.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 3-quart baking dish or gratin. Cut one of the garlic cloves in half and rub the dish with the cut surface. Then slice up all the garlic and toss with cabbage and potatoes.

During the first 45 minutes, press the vegetables down into the liquid in the baking dish every 10 to 15 minutes, using the back of a large spoon. The gratin will still be bubbling when you remove it from the oven, and you will see liquid in the baking dish. Wait 10 to 15 minutes before serving, until liquid is reabsorbed. If liquid remains in dish, serve with a slotted spoon.

CRUNCHY BAKED TOMATO & ONION GRATIN

BAKED GREENS AND ONIONS AU GRATIN

Steps:

• Be sure greens are washed well and remove tough stems. This can be done ahead of time.
• Begin with a shallow dish sprayed with olive oil spray, (mine was 8X6 inch but 8X8 would work too). Layer 2 cups (tightly packed cups) of greens in the bottom of the dish. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of parmesan over this and then pour on 1/2 cup of cream. The cream will sink to the bottom.
• On top of this, layer most of the cup of fresh onion cut into ringlets. Also, add all of the minced garlic. Then repeat with the last cup of packed greens, the rest of the onions and a bit more salt and pepper. You can always salt more later if needed, but if you oversalt, you can't undo it. Carefully, top with the cup of grated parmesan cheese, and bake 20-25 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. (It will be very full if using an 8X6 inch pan, but it cooks down.)
• Note: Prep time will be reduced greatly if you don't have to wash freshly picked greens like I had to do.
