CREAMY CABBAGE GRATIN WITH TOASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
• Place cabbage into a colander and rinse briefly under cold running water until it is slightly damp.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over a moderately high heat, then add drained (but damp) cabbage.
• Stir well, and cover with a lid.
• Steam cabbage over a moderately high heat for approximately 5 minutes or until the cabbage is tender, but still a little crunchy.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cream, salt, pepper, sugar, nutmeg and paprika and stir to combine.
• When the cabbage is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and reduce the heat on the stove top to medium.
• Place 1 teaspoon oil into a small frypan.
• Heat oil in the frypan for a minute or two, then add the almonds, tossing constantly until they turn a light golden brown.
• Add the toasted almonds and the cream mixture to the cabbage and stir well.
• Grease a small (3 cup capacity) casserole or pyrex dish with butter or margarine.
• Transfer the cabbage mixture to this dish and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
• In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and cheese.
• Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the cabbage.
• (If you wish to make this dish several hours ahead of serving time, prepare it up to this stage, cover with plastic wrap, and keep in the refrigerator until needed).
• Bake on the centre shelf of a moderate 180C (350F) oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown- cooking time may be slightly longer if the dish has been refrigerated.

CABBAGE AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add quartered cabbage and potato slices. Reduce heat to medium-high and boil gently for 5 minutes.
• Drain and use tongs to transfer cabbage quarters to a colander set over a bowl or in the sink. Allow cabbage to cool in colander until you can handle the wedges. Core the wedges, then cut them in half lengthwise. Finally, slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide ribbons. Return to colander and drain for another 5 minutes. Place in a large bowl with the potatoes.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 3-quart baking dish or gratin. Cut one of the garlic cloves in half and rub the dish with the cut surface. Then slice up all the garlic and toss with cabbage and potatoes.
• In a bowl, whisk together milk, crème fraîche, about 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Pour into bowl with cabbage and potatoes, add cheeses and sage, and gently toss together. Scrape into baking dish.
• Bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, until top is golden brown. During the first 45 minutes, press the vegetables down into the liquid in the baking dish every 10 to 15 minutes, using the back of a large spoon. The gratin will still be bubbling when you remove it from the oven, and you will see liquid in the baking dish. Wait 10 to 15 minutes before serving, until liquid is reabsorbed. If liquid remains in dish, serve with a slotted spoon.
