How to cook deliciously - Turnip Gratin

1. Stage

Blanch raw turnip slices: Preheat oven to 325°F. Blanch the raw turnip slices in salted boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove from water and drain.

2. Stage

Layer bread, turnip slices, onions, cheese in casserole dish: Coat the inside of the casserole dish with olive oil. Place a layer of bread on the bottom of the casserole dish. Layer on half of the turnip slices in a single layer, season with salt and pepper. Layer on all of the onions. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Add another layer of bread, turnips, and cheese. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper.

For the last few minutes, if you want, and you are using a pan (metal or ceramic) that can safely handle broiling temperatures, broil for a couple minutes to brown the top. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Links: Cardoon Gratin - from Hunter Angler Gardener Cook
