JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE AND CARROT GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack positioned in the center. Squeeze the juice from two lemon halves into a medium bowl of water. Peel and cut the Jerusalem artichokes lengthwise into thirds, and add to the acidulated water. Butter a shallow 7 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch ovenproof baking dish, and set aside.
• Place the potatoes, carrots, garlic, and 2 tablespoons parsley in a large bowl. Remove the Jerusalem artichokes from the water, pat dry, and add to the bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and arrange the vegetables in an even layer in the prepared dish. Dot with the butter.
• Pour cream into a small saucepan; heat over medium-high heat just until it comes to a boil. Pour hot cream over vegetables; cover dish tightly with aluminum foil. Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any cream that might bubble over. Transfer both baking sheet and dish to oven, and cook until potatoes begin to soften, about 30 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees. Remove aluminum foil; stir vegetables so they are coated with cream. Continue cooking until the tip of a knife easily pierces potatoes and artichokes, about 30 minutes more.
• Preheat the broiler. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the cheese, and sprinkle over the gratin. Place dish under broiler, and cook just until the cheese is golden brown and crusty. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon parsley, and serve hot.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE AND SAGE GRATIN

Steps:

• Peel Jerusalem artichokes and cut into 1-inch pieces. In a stainless-steel or enameled saucepan combine artichokes, milk, and enough water to cover artichokes by 1 inch and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. (Milk will help prevent artichokes from discoloring.) While artichokes are cooking, in a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté onion, garlic, and 1 tablespoon sage until onion is golden, about minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425° F.
• Drain artichokes and in a food processor pulse with onion mixture and Parmesan until smooth. Spoon purée into a 2-quart buttered gratin dish. In large skillet melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter over moderate heat and sauté bread crumbs with remaining 2 tablespoons sage until golden, about 5 minutes. Season bread crumbs with salt and pepper and sprinkle evenly over purée. Gratin may be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead and chilled covered.
• Bake gratin in middle of oven until hot and bread crumbs are a shade darker, about 20 minutes, and garnish with fried sage leaves.
• To make fried sage leaves:
• In a small skillet heat 1/8 inch oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and fry sage leaves, 1 at a time, about 3 seconds, until crisp, transferring with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle sage leaves with coarse salt.
