Chard, Crimson Pepper, and Rice Gratin

The theme for Monday posts in September is Vegetable Gratins.

In truth, this is going to be the theme for October, additionally.

I make numerous vegetable gratins

Consistent with the Powers That Be that run the web. “A gratin is a dish this is crowned with cheese, or bread crumbs combined with bits of butter, then heated within the oven or below the grill till brown and crisp. The phrases au gratin or gratinée seek advice from any dish ready in any such way.”

The ones PTB are patently British as we American citizens would say ‘broiler’ reasonably than ‘grill’ however you get the theory.

I infrequently do the butter and bread crumbs bit, and I don’t all the time put the cheese on most sensible. Now and again it will get jumbled in.

The necessary issues is, my gratins are all the time simple. Most sensible them alternatively you favor.
