Pumpkin And Bacon Au Gratin Recipes

PUMPKIN GRATIN

Steps:

• Cut the pumpkin in half and, with a knife, remove the flesh from inside. Discard the seeds and cut flesh into thin slices. Place the slices and chicken broth, or 1 cup lightly salted water, in a saucepan. Simmer, covered but stirring frequently, until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cook the bacon until it begins to crisp. Drain on paper towels. Stir in the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in the tomatoes, thyme and sage and let cool slightly.
• Stir the onion mixture, bacon, eggs, cream and 2 tablespoons of cheese into the pumpkin.
• Place mixture into a 9-inch gratin dish or 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish, smoothing the top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and the bread crumbs. Bake until nicely browned, about 30 minutes.

PUMPKIN & POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until starting to soften (about 5 minutes). Lift the onions out with a slotted spoon and place in an ovenproof dish.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan, then tip in the garlic, chilli, pumpkin chunks, chopped potatoes and sage and toss them together in the hot oil until lightly browned all over. (This takes 5-6 minutes.) Add to the dish containing the onion.
• Scatter the two sorts of cheese over the vegetables, season and toss together until well mixed. Combine the stock and cream and pour over the vegetables.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the breadcrumbs and walnuts together until lightly browned. Stir in the parsley and scatter the crumbly mixture over the top of the vegetables. Put in the oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbling and golden brown. Serve hot, with a chicory salad (see link, right).
