Vegetable Gratin

This vegetable gratin is a handy little recipe as it really compliments any type of main dish.  Make this recipe your own and use any vegetable combination you prefer.  I've used potato, tomato and onions for this particular recipe.  You can also use zucchini, eggplant, etc.

Ingredients:
-5 potatoes
-3 tomatoes
-2 onions
-1 tablespoons of olive oil
-1/2 cup of creme fraiche
-Salt & pepper
-1 teaspoon of sugar
-Herbes de provence (mix of any dried herbs like rosemary, basil, etc.)

Instructions:

-Peel the potatoes and chop into thin slices.

-Chop the tomatoes into thin slices.

-Chop up the onions and saute in olive oil.  After a few minutes, add the sugar and mix until the onions are soft and golden.

-In a baking dish, layer the vegetables.  For the 1st, 3rd and 4th layer place the potato and tomato slices, alternatively.   For the 2nd layer, spread the caramelized onions.  For each layer, season with salt, pepper and herbs de provence.

-Pour the creme fraiche over the vegetables and bake in the oven at 200 degrees C for 50 minutes.
