Sunday Dinner: Mussel Gratin
You may have noticed that mussels are having a bit of a moment. If tasting the sheer flavor of the sea isn't reason enough for you to eat these briny bivalves, also remember that they're both incredibly affordable and a surefire sustainable seafood option.
Mussels are often served in a white wine broth or flavored with chorizo, but I love the unusual idea of them starring in a gratin.
6 Tempting Gratin Dishes
In the dead of Winter, during a period of economic stress, there's nothing more appetizing than down-home comfort foods. While mac and cheese, burgers, and pot pies get a lot of press, I have to argue that the title of The Ultimate Comfort Food should go to the gratin. Coined after an obsolete French term for "grater," a gratin is a very loosely defined dish: it's simply any course that's topped with browned crumbs, butter, and cheese.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Cannellini Bean and Sausage Gratin
I'm ga-ga for gratins — especially at this time of year — and got really excited when I found this recipe for a dinner gratin. Usually gratins are served as a side dish because they highlight the flavor of one ingredient. However in this case, beans, greens, and sausage are tossed with fennel, onions, and fresh sage before being baked in the oven.
Bright Side: Carrot Cranberry Gratin
Carrots are one of those veggies that I don't often cook with. Sure I throw them in a salad, but when I think of making a delicious side dish to pair with an extraordinary roast, carrots don't always come to mind. That is, until now!

Chic Gratin For Dessert
I am crazy about gratins. It's actually starting to drive my father crazy, the incessant dad let's have zucchini gratin for dinner and non stop dad I found the best tomato gratin recipe. I've been doing a lot of outside the box thinking about gratins lately (plain old potatoes is just oh-so-boring) and got to wondering, could you make a sweet variation for dessert?
Colorful Side: Garlicky Cherry Tomato Bread Gratin
When you hear the word gratin does a calorie/fat packed, decadent, cheesy, creamy potato dish come to mind? That's what used to pop into my mind until I realized that a gratin can be baked with all sorts of vegetables and minimal amounts of cheese. Now my preferred type of gratin is a tomato one rather than the classic potato version.
Unexpectedly Good Side: Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Don't you feel sorry for Brussels sprouts? They have a horrible reputation, and I don't understand why. When cooked correctly and paired with enhancing flavors, Brussels sprouts are actually a wonderfully delicious vegetable.
Five Minutes of Effort Yields a Rustic Tomato & Bread Gratin
At his seminar in Aspen, French cooking authority Jacques Pépin had a lot to say about boiling the world's most perfect eggs. While doing so, he also managed to make six stunning tomato dishes, using a number of in-season varieties, including a stacked Greek tomato salad, tomato-laced spaghetti with anchovies, and a tomato-bread gratin.
I just so happened to return from the neighborhood farmers market bearing a loaf of fresh-baked bread and vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, so I combined those with Parmesan to make Jacques's gratin.
Say Cheese! Gruyere Gratin With Thyme
Gruyere cheese is a popular hard cheese made from cow's milk. With origins in Switzerland, it is perhaps the best known type of Swiss cheese. Gruyere is also produced in France, but according to French agricultural law, it must have holes, while the Swiss version is solid.
Would You Eat This Caesar-Salad-Topped Potato Gratin?
Recently I went to an event with a buffet. From classic shrimp cocktail to lamb skewers with tzatziki, all of the usual suspects were present. Then, there was this mysterious casserole dish.
