le roussin d'épinards (baked spinach)
Updated on Jul 4, 2021
This is a typical gratin from the Provence. Gratin means that you only bake the dish very shortly with high heat to achieve a crisp crust on top. So the ingredients have to be cooked completely before filling into the gratin dish, which should be quite shallow. Watch the gratin carefully while it sits in the oven because it only takes a couple of minutes to brown.
