Ingredients:

2 potatoes
400g
3 cups pumpkin
360g
1 onion
110g
1 tbsp sage
16g
1/3 cup bread crumbs
30g
1/3 cup walnuts
72g
1/2 cup chicken gravy
100g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking.
2. Prepare Vegetables:
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes and pumpkin. Aim for uniform slices so they cook evenly.
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
3. Cook Onions:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onions until they are soft and translucent. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4. Assemble Gratin:
- In a greased baking dish, arrange a layer of potato slices to cover the bottom.
- Add a layer of pumpkin slices over the potatoes.
- Sprinkle some of the sautéed onions over the pumpkin.
- Season lightly with sage. Repeat this layering process until you've used all the potatoes, pumpkin, and onions.
5. Prepare Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs and chopped walnuts together. This will add a delicious, crunchy topping to your gratin.
6. Add Chicken Gravy:
- Pour the chicken gravy evenly over the layered vegetables. This will add moisture and flavor, helping the vegetables cook to a tender consistency.
7. Top with Bread Crumb Mixture:
- Sprinkle the bread crumb and walnut mixture evenly over the top of the gratin.
8. Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crunchy and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
9. Serve:
- Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with a light salad or as a side to your favorite main courses.

Tips:

- Make sure to slice the potatoes and pumpkin thinly to ensure even cooking.

- You can substitute vegetable gravy or a creamy sauce if you prefer a vegetarian version.

- Toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to intensify their flavor.

- For a cheesier variation, add grated cheese between the layers or on top of the breadcrumbs.

- Fresh sage leaves can be used instead of dried sage for a more intense and fresh flavor.

With a delicious combination of flavors and textures, this pumpkin and sage gratin is sure to become a favorite in your household. Perfect for a cozy dinner or a special occasion, it's a dish that brings comfort and delight with every bite. Enjoy the rich, savory taste, and don't hesitate to experiment with different variations to make it your own.
