Today, I present you the recipe for our Sunday evening meal. The good thing is that you can adapt it to any other type of gratin. Because the most important thing is the béchamel. It's the sauce that binds everything together, but of course the quality of the other products, the vegetables in this case, counts !
My cauliflowers have already been steamed for half an hour, I have just enough for my dish which you will see later. So let's see what we need for a béchamel with half a litre of milk.
- 1/2 litre of milk.
-42 grams of butter. - 42 grams of white flour.
- Salt, pepper, nutmeg (about one sixth of a whole nut).
I attentively butter my dish...
I cut my cauliflowers into smaller pieces and place them in my dish, packing them a little so that they are as close together as possible.
I put my butter to melt slowly and in the meantime, I grind my salt, pepper and nutmeg mixture.
The butter is melted. I add the flour all at once and mix the two together briskly without waiting too long. As soon as this is done, I start adding the milk little by little, never stopping to stir. Don't forget the corners of my pan :)
As soon as the mixture thickens, I add more milk and keep stirring. When the liquid is half gone, I add a good spoonful of my spice mixture.
When the béchamel has reached the right consistency, i.e. neither too liquid nor too solid, I remove the pan from the heat.
I pour the sauce over my vegetables and mix it up a bit to make sure it gets everywhere, right to the bottom of my dish :) I add a nice layer of grated emmental cheese and that's it, I just have to put it in the oven.
In fact, as my vegetables are already cooked, there is no need to cook them just so that they and the sauce get to know each other and bind together more, so that the cheese grates nicely !
After about an hour, your gratin is ready. I think it took about half an hour in the oven at 180°.
It is really a winter dish, quite rich and rather complete, in general, I can eat it with another vegetable, but rarely with an additional starch !
Please do not hesitate to ask me your questions, requests for clarification and if you have any similar recipes/techniques, I will be happy to learn them :)
I wish you all a great week, and hope you were able to rest and enjoy the weekend !
See you all soon,
<3

Aujourd'hui, je vous présente la recette de notre repas de ce dimanche soir. La bonne chose c'est que vous pouvez l'adaptez à tout autre type de gratin. Car ce qui compte presque le plus, c'est la béchamel. C'est la sauce qui fait tout le liant, mais bien-sûr, la qualité des autres produits, les légumes en l'occurence, compte évidemment !
Mes choux-fleurs ont déjà été cuits une petites demi-heure à la vapeur, j'en ai juste ce qu'il me faut pour mon plat que vous verrez plus loin. Donc voyons ce dont nous avons besoin pour une béchamel avec un demi-litre de lait.
- 1/2 litre de lait donc.
-42 grammes de beurre. - 42 grammes de farine blanche.
- Sel, poivre, noix de muscade (environ un sixième de noix entière).
Je beurre avec attention mon plat...
Je coupe mes choux-fleurs en plus petits morceaux et les place dans mon plat en les tassant un peu pour qu'ils soient les plus proches les uns des autres.
Hop, je mets mon beurre à fondre doucement et en attendant, je mouds mon mélange sel, poivre, noix de muscade.
Le beurre est fondu. J'ajoute la farine d'un coup et mélange vivement les deux sans trop attendre. Dès que cela est fait, je commence à ajouter le lait petit à petit en n'arrêtant jamais de remuer. Sans oublier les coins de ma casserole :)
Dès que je mélange épaissit, je rajoute du lait et je continue de remuer. Lorsque j'ai mi tout le liquide, j'ajoute une bonne cuillère de mon mélange d'épices.
Lorsque la béchamel a atteint la bonne consistance, c'est à dire ni trop liquide, ni trop solide, je retire la casserole du feu.
Je verse la sauce sur mes légumes et mélange un peu le tout pour m'assurer qu'il y en a partout, jusqu'au fond de mon plat quoi :) Je rajoute une belle couche d'emmental râpé et voilà, il n'y a plus qu'à mettre cela au four.
En vérité, comme mes légumes sont déjà cuits, il n'y a besoin de cuisson juste pour que ceux-ci et la sauce fassent connaissance et se lient davantage, ainsi pour que le fromage gratine agréablement !
Voilà, après environ une heure en tout est pour tout, votre gratin est prêt. Je pense que la cuisson au four aura duré à peu près une demi-heure à 180°.
C'est vraiment un plat d'hiver, assez riche et plutôt complet, en général, je peux le mange accompagné d'un autre légume, mais rarement d'un féculent supplémentaire !
N'hésitez pas à me poser vos questions, demandes de précisions et si vous avez des recettes/techniques approchantes, je serai ravi de les apprendre :)
Je vous souhaite à tous une très belle semaine, en espérant que vous avez pu vous reposer et profiter de ce weekend !
À très vite,
<3

I haven't had this before but I can tell that it looks very tasty but with the recipe, I might find it difficult to eat a lot of this with pepper and its good to see pepper included in the recipe.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
hello and thanks you dear @george-dee !
Oh, this is sweet pepper, not too strong hehe :)
May you have a great weekend ahead and sorry for answering that late 😱😘
Can one add the flour little by little instead of doing it all at once ??
As soon it’s well mixed - and not burn ! - I think it either this way or the other :)
