Ingredients
Broccoli1 head(cut into florets)
Cabbage½ head(thinly sliced)
Unsalted butter2 tbsp · 28 g
All-purpose flour2 tbsp · 16 g
Milk1 cup · 240 ml
Salt½ tsp
Pepper¼ tsp
Parmesan cheese½ cup · 50 g(grated)
Breadcrumbs½ cup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the broccoli and cabbage until they are tender, about 5–7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
In the prepared baking dish, layer the broccoli, cabbage, and sauce. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs over the top.
Bake the gratin until it is hot and bubbly and the topping is golden brown, about 25–30 minutes.
Serve the gratin hot, as a side dish.
This was how the last of the winter vegetables earned their place at the table,
turned creamy and gold under a crust of cheese. Even the ones who claimed to
dislike cabbage went back for seconds.
The Chef's Touch This gratin is a delicious and comforting side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. Try serving it with roast chicken, grilled steak, or fish. You can also try using other vegetables, such as cauliflower or Brussels sprouts, in place of the broccoli and cabbage. Enjoy!
