Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Éplucher la courge

    Pele la courge butternut, retire les graines et coupe-la en petits cubes de 2 cm.

  2. Faire revenir oignon

    Émince l'oignon finement et fais-le revenir dans la poêle avec l'huile à feu moyen jusqu'à ce qu'il devienne translucide.

  3. Cuire les lentilles

    Rince les lentilles vertes à l'eau froide, puis fais-les cuire dans la casserole avec de l'eau froide non salée à feu moyen. Compte 25 min de cuisson à partir de l'ébullition.

    Tip · Pour éviter que les lentilles ne collent, remue-les une fois en cours de cuisson.

  4. Cuire la courge

    Ajoute les cubes de courge dans la poêle avec l'oignon et fais-les revenir 5 min à feu moyen. Sale légèrement et poivre.

  5. Mélanger légumes et lentilles

    Égoutte les lentilles cuites et mélange-les avec les courges et oignons dans la poêle.

  6. Préchauffer le four

    Préchauffe le four à 180°C (thermostat 6).

  7. Monter le gratin

    Verse le mélange de légumes et lentilles dans le plat à gratin. Étale la crème fraîche par-dessus et saupoudre avec le fromage râpé restant.

    Tip · Si le fromage râpé n'est pas assez gratiné à la fin, passe le plat sous le grill 2-3 min en surveillant.

  8. Enfourner le gratin

    Place le plat au four et laisse gratiner 15 min, jusqu'à ce que le dessus soit bien doré.
