Vegetable Gratin Skillet

Make use of garden vegetables to create this colorful and healthy vegetable gratin skillet recipe.

I cannot walk up and down the aisle of a farmer’s market without being taken in by the beautiful and fresh produce. I always bring home a basketful of tried and true’s and at least one new thing to try.  One of my favorite ways to use up fresh, delicious produce is in a gratin.  The beauty of a gratin is that you can make it with any of your favorite fresh vegetables that you have on hand- squash, zucchini, potatoes, onions, leeks, carrots, parsnips, peppers or eggplant. You can also change up the seasonings to suit your mood.  This is the combination that I come back to most often, and I love how pretty it looks on the table cooked in my cast iron skillet. Simple enough for a weeknight but elegant enough to serve as a side dish even on holidays.
