Chard, Pink Pepper, and Rice Gratin · Thyme for Cooking

The theme for Monday posts in September is Vegetable Gratins.

Truly, that’s going to be the theme for October, additionally.

I make loads of vegetable gratins

In keeping with the Powers That Be that run the web. “A gratin is a dish that’s topped with cheese, or bread crumbs blended with bits of butter, then heated within the oven or underneath the grill till brown and crisp. The phrases au gratin or gratinée confer with any dish ready in such a fashion.”

These PTB are clearly British as we Individuals would say ‘broiler’ somewhat than ‘grill’ however you get the thought.

I not often do the butter and bread crumbs bit, and I don’t all the time put the cheese on prime. Generally it will get blended in.

The vital issues is, my gratins are all the time simple. High them nevertheless you want.
