1	Prepare 500 g carrot and dice small. Set aside. Prepare 500 g courgette and dice these as well, then set aside. Prepare 1 onion and chop finely. Set aside.
2	Dice 100 g cured ham (use smoked if you like). Set aside.
3	Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil into a large frying pan on high hear. When really hot, add the diced carrots and cook until tender. Check the seasoning. Transfer onto a plate.
4	Pour another 3 tablespoons olive oil into the same pan, still on high heat. When hot, add the courgettes and cook until tender, then Check the seasoning. Transfer onto a plate.
5	Still using the same pan, fry the diced ham in 2 tablespoons olive oil.

7	Put the carrots and courgettes back in the pan and stir well to mix all the flavours.
8	Tip the vegetable mixture into a buttered gratin dish and spread in an even layer. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

11	...and bake for about 35 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

Remarks

For the grated cheese, I recommend Comté (as usual), but any other cheese you prefer will work just fine.
