Vegetable clafoutis

Name: Vegetable clafoutis
Prep time: 38 min
Cook time: 53 min
Total time: 1 h 31 min
Yield: 6 people
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 500 g carrot; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 500 g courgette; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 onion; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 100 g cured ham; 2 eggs; 200 g liquid cream; 80 g grated cheese; 30 g flour; salt; pepper

Clafoutis, the traditional French batter puddings, are normally sweet, but here is a savoury version: a layer of mixed vegetables (pre-cooked in this case) in a gratin dish with a cheesy mixture poured over, then baked in the oven.

Here I have used diced carrots and courgettes, chopped onion, fried diced ham and a mix of cream, eggs and Comté.

Bouquet garni

Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.

Clarified butter

This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline.
