Lettuce Gratin with Bacon and Chorizo

Can you spot it?  The lettuce that is?  In this gratin theres about 500grams of it!  Who would have thought it!  Or maybe I should say 'Hugh' would have thought it!  I found this recipe at the weekend whilst looking for something to do with two rather large heads of lettuce.
Its another classic from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, a Lettuce Gratin. 


Time to prepare and cook: 35 minutes
Cost of ingredients approx: £6
Changes to recipe:  Added Chorizo and Red Peppers
Tricky bits:  None!
The full recipe is after the break......serves 4

Potato & Leek Gratin

We bought some cute little individual casserole \ pie dishes and what better way to use them then with an oven bake.  I found this recipe on the BBC Good Food website (the link goes through to the actual recipe).

The recipe is for 4 but it easily reduces down.  Really nice to do something with leeks and the combination with the bits of bacon is lovely.

Changes from recipe:  Instead of using ham I used bacon lardons which were super flavoursome.
