I'm sure you'll adopt this inexpensive and balanced family meal. Watch:
For 4 people - Preparation time: 10 min - Cooking time: 30 mins
- 5 to 6 courgettes
- 200g diced ham
- 180 g of rice
- 2 tablespoons heavy or semi-thick cream
- grated cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 180/200°C.
2. I put olive oil in the bottom of a skillet with high sides. And I dip my peeled zucchini in small slices or fine pieces.
3. I salt them right away and add the rice right away.
Courgettes release their water when cooked (thanks to the salt). And they cook the rice at the same time. If a little water is missing to finish cooking the rice, add a small glass.
4. When the rice is cooked, I drain.
5. In a gratin dish, I then mix the zucchini and the rice with the diced ham.
6. I distribute 2 nice tablespoons of thick or semi-thick cream, depending on what I have in the fridge.
7. I pepper, I mix.
8. Then I cover the whole thing with grated Gruyère so that it browns.
9. Put your gratin in the oven.
10. Heat it for 20-30 min.
And there you have it, you have prepared a delicious gratin that the whole family will love :-)
Easy to make, quick and economical!
And no need to waste your time on Marmiton or ruin yourself with a Cookeo!
This recipe is impossible to miss.
It's a family dish that cooks gently in the oven.
Depending on the oven, allow between 20 and 30 min at 180° or 200° for cooking.
You can prepare it the day before and simply reheat it the same day.
At home, we call it "le gratin de Lisa" (that's my daughter's first name).
Because initially, I was given the recipe without the ham. Perfect for a vegetarian dish...
And from the height of her 4 years, my daughter told me that there was a starch, a vegetable... and that we could add ham to it to make a balanced meal!
You can completely replace the ham with already cooked chicken breast. Perfect for finishing off leftover roast chicken!
Often, I make a green salad to accompany it...
