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.

Step-by-step recipe

Step 1 - ⌛ 25 min.

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.

Step 2 - ⌛ 3 min.

Dice 100 g cured ham (use smoked if you like). Set aside.

Step 3 - ⌛ 7 min.

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.

Step 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

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.

Step 5 - ⌛ 4 min.

Still using the same pan, fry the diced ham in 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Step 6 - ⌛ 2 min.

When the ham is nicely browned, add the chopped onion and cook for 1 or 2 minutes without colouring.

Step 7 - ⌛ 2 min.

Put the carrots and courgettes back in the pan and stir well to mix all the flavours.

Step 8 - ⌛ 2 min.

Tip the vegetable mixture into a buttered gratin dish and spread in an even layer.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Step 9 - ⌛ 4 min.

Prepare the savoury clafoutis mixture by mixing 2 eggs, 200 g liquid cream, 80 g grated cheese and 30 g flour. Pepper and salt moderately (the ham and cheese are already quite salty).

Step 10 - ⌛ 2 min.

Pour the mixture into the dish...

Step 11 - ⌛ 35 min.

...and bake for about 35 minutes.

Remarks

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

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
