Carrot Parsnip And Cheddar Gratin Recipes

CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake until the vegetables are tender, 40-45 minutes. Uncover and bake until cream has thickened and is beginning to turn golden brown, 10-15 minutes longer. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

CARROT, PARSNIP, AND CHEDDAR GRATIN

Steps:

• 3/4 pound each of carrots and parsnips, peeled, halved lengthwise if large, and cut into 1/2 inch slices. 2 ounces coarsely grated sharp Cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup). Heat the oven to 350F. Butter a shallow, oval-shaped gratin dish. In a 10 inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 7-10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter and pour into a small bowl. Add the panko crumbs, parsley, and marjoram and toss well to combine. Whisk the heavy cream, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper into the onion; then stir in the carrots and parsnips. Bring up the heat just to a boil, cover the pan, lower the heat and simmer gently until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 10-12 minutes. Spread the carrot and parsnip mixture in the prepared gratin dish. Scatter the Cheddar over the vegetables, top with the panko and herb mixture, and bake until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and the crumbs are golden-brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

ROOT VEGETABLE GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the heavy whipping cream, chicken stock, butter, thyme, garlic and Parmesan rind in a small saucepot. Place over medium-low heat and cook just until simmering, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the flour. Strain the cream mixture through a colander into a container with a pour spout and discard the thyme stems, garlic and cheese rind.
• Spread the potato rounds in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour a third of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup grated cheese. Next, shingle half the carrots and parsnips in alternating rows in an even layer. Pour a third of the cream mixture over the top, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and 1/2 cup cheese. Finally, shingle the remaining parsnips and carrots in alternating rows in an even layer. Use your hands to lightly press down on the vegetables to even out, if needed. Pour the remainder of the cream mixture over the top, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining cheese (about 1 cup).
• Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the vegetables are fairly tender and the sauce is simmering, about 1 hour. Remove the foil and sprinkle the top of the gratin with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese is lightly browned and the vegetables are tender, another 30 minutes.
• Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
