Apple And Pear Gratin Food

APPLE AND PEAR CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Peel, core, and cut the pears and apples into large chunks. Place the fruit in a large bowl and add the zests, juices, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch oval baking dish.
• For the topping: Combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed for 1 minute, until the mixture is in large crumbles. Sprinkle evenly over the fruit, covering the fruit completely.
• Place the baking dish on a sheet pan and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is brown and the fruit is bubbly. Serve warm.

APPLE AND PEAR GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter the sides and bottom of a 9-inch baking dish that is at least 2 inches deep or a 9-inch springform pan.
• Put the whole eggs plus the egg yolks and the sugar in the bowl of a mixer. Beat at high speed until you see pale yellow ribbons form.
• Mix in the rum and vanilla. Add the flour and mix well. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
• In the clean mixer bowl, whip the heavy cream to firm peaks, then fold it carefully into the egg mixture with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the buttered dish.
• Peel and core the apple and pear and slice them crosswise into thin half-moons. Arrange over the batter in the baking dish, alternating the apple and pear slices. Do not be concerned if they sink into the mixture; they eventually will end up embedded in it. Place in the pre-heated oven and bake until the top has turned golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.

PEAR AND RED ONION GRATIN

Steps:

• Bosc pears are strong-flavored and hold their shape when cooked, making them well suited for this savory side dish. It's a terrific accompaniment for a glazed ham or grilled sausage or most any roasted meat or poultry.;
• Fill a large bowl three-quarters full with water; add a handful of ice cubes. Cut onion into 16 wedges, place in a strainer and lower into the water. Let stand for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400degreesF.
• Halve and core each pear; cut each half into 6 slices. Drain the onion wedges well and place them in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish along with the pear slices, 1 tablespoon oil, thyme, salt and a grinding of pepper; toss to combine. Cover with foil.
• Roast for 30 minutes, stirring twice.
• Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs and cheese in a small bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil; stir to combine. Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the gratin, return to the oven and roast until the breadcrumbs are well browned, 20 to 30 minutes more. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
• Recipe Tips & Notes:
• 1. Note: We like to use the Ian's brand of coarse dry breadcrumbs, labeled "Panko breadcrumbs." Find them in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets.
• 2. To make your own breadcrumbs: Trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear the bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. One slice makes about 1/3 cup. Spread the breadcrumbs onto a baking sheet and bake in a 250degreesF oven until dry and crispy, about 15 minutes.

ORANGE-SCENTED SWEET POTATO GRATIN WITH APPLE AND PEAR

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a 3-quart gratin or baking dish with walnut oil. Toss together the sweet potatoes, apples and pear in a large bowl. Season with salt to taste.
• In a small saucepan or in a microwave at 50 percent power, heat the honey (or agave nectar) and the walnut oil together just until warm. Add to the sweet potato mixture, add the orange zest and toss together well until the fruit and vegetables are well coated. Scrape into the baking dish, making sure to scrape out all of the honey and oil using a rubber spatula. Pour on the orange juice. Set the baking dish on a sheet pan and place in the oven.
• Bake 1 hour, setting the timer so that you remember to stir the mixture at 15-minute intervals. Cover the pan with foil and continue to bake for another 1/2 hour, or until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly tender and the liquid in the pan is syrupy. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes (or longer) before serving.

CELERY ROOT, POTATO AND PEAR GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Peel the celery root, then quarter and slice 1/4 inch thick. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add the celery root to the skillet in a single layer and cook, turning, until browned, about 10 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on the paper towels.
• Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and slice 1/4 inch thick. Add another 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Working in batches, add the potatoes in a single layer and cook, turning, until browned and tender, about 10 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on the paper towels with the celery root.
• Peel the pear, core and slice 1/4 inch thick. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add the pear in a single layer and cook, turning, until browned, about 10 minutes; transfer to the paper towels. Lightly season the celery root, potatoes and pear with salt and pepper.
• Heat the cream and garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat until just simmering; remove from the heat. Combine the gruyere, parmesan, thyme and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Spread the celery root in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle one-third of the cheese mixture on top. Remove the garlic from the cream, then pour one-quarter of the cream over the cheese. Layer the potatoes on top, then sprinkle with another one-third of the cheese mixture; pour another one-quarter of the cream on top. Top with the pear slices and sprinkle with the remaining cheese mixture. Pour the remaining cream over everything.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until the gratin is bubbly and browned, 5 to 10 more minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
