CABBAGE AND POTATO GRATIN WITH MUSTARD BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place bacon in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium heat and cook about 2 minutes. Add onion and sauté, stirring frequently, until bacon is crisp and onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, bay leaf, salt and pepper and sauté, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add cabbage and sauté, stirring frequently until cabbage wilts a bit, about 5 minutes.
• Turn cabbage mixture into a shallow 1 1/2 or 2-quart casserole dish. Pour cream into sauté pan and reduce over high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until cream is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Pour cream over cabbage and stir to mix. Cover casserole with foil. Bake 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a 10-inch skillet over low heat. When it is foamy, add bread crumbs and sauté, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until crisp and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, add garlic, salt, cayenne pepper, mustard and parsley, stirring well to combine. Sprinkle casserole with cheese, then with bread crumbs, and return to oven uncovered. Bake until fragrant and bubbling slightly around edges, about 5 minutes. Serve as a side dish to roast fowl, pork or meaty fish like monk or halibut.

CABBAGE AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add quartered cabbage and potato slices. Reduce heat to medium-high and boil gently for 5 minutes.
• Drain and use tongs to transfer cabbage quarters to a colander set over a bowl or in the sink. Allow cabbage to cool in colander until you can handle the wedges. 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.
• In a bowl, whisk together milk, crème fraîche, about 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Pour into bowl with cabbage and potatoes, add cheeses and sage, and gently toss together. Scrape into baking dish.
• Bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, until top is golden brown. 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.

POTATO GRATIN WITH MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Brush a shallow, oval baking dish (about 12 by 7 inches) with butter.
• In a medium high-sided saucepan, combine sliced potatoes, garlic, and milk, and set over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and let simmer until potatoes just begin to get tender, about 8 minutes.
• Drain potatoes, reserving 1 cup milk. Combine reserved cup of milk with heavy cream. Whisk in mustard. Season well with salt and pepper.
• Layer potatoes in baking dish, sprinkling flour and scattering cheese between each layer but reserving half the cheese for the top. Pour cream mixture over potatoes; the liquid should just come to top of potatoes.
• Scatter remaining cheese over top of gratin; sprinkle with mustard seeds. Bake until potatoes are completely soft when pricked with a fork and the cream has thickened and is just starting to bubble up but is not boiling, about 25 minutes. Turn oven to broil. Adjust oven rack to top setting. Transfer gratin to rack, and broil until top is golden brown, about 3 minutes.
