Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking.
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes and pumpkin. Aim for uniform slices so they cook evenly.
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onions until they are soft and translucent. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs and chopped walnuts together. This will add a delicious, crunchy topping to your gratin.
- Pour the chicken gravy evenly over the layered vegetables. This will add moisture and flavor, helping the vegetables cook to a tender consistency.
- Sprinkle the bread crumb and walnut mixture evenly over the top of the gratin.
- 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.
- 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.
