Sausage & Vegetable Gratin

• 10 Italian sausages (5 spicy, 5 sweet)
• 2 large Vidalia onions, chopped large
• 3 bell peppers (orange, yellow, red), chopped large
• 4 crowns of broccoli, chopped large
• 1 head cauliflower, chopped large
• 2.5 cups sour cream
• 8 ounces shredded parmesan cheese
• 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
• 8 ounces shredded low salt baby swiss cheese
• 1.5 cups chickpea crumbs
• 0.25 cups fennel seeds
• 0.25 cups cumin seeds
• 0.5 cups minced garlic in oil
• 0.5 cups whole grain mustard
• 2-3 tablespoons black pepper

1. The sausages, onions, and vegetables can all be prepared at the same time (sausages in a countertop convection oven, onions on the stove, vegetables in the oven)
2. Cook Italian sausages at 425C, turning twice, for 30-40 minutes, followed by broiling for 10 minutes. Remove, cool slightly, and slice into pieces.
3. Place all chopped vegetables on a parchment sheet-lined pan, toss with pepper and EVOO spray, roast for 30 minutes at 450C, stirring once after 15 minutes. Remove.
4. Caramelize onions in EVOO in a large pan. Near the end, add fennel seeds, cumin seeds, black pepper, and garlic. Continue to heat until finished.
5. Add the vegetables and meat to the onions and mix well.
6. Prepare a sauce made up to the sour cream, parmesan cheese, and mustard.
7. Place half the meat and vegetable mixture in a 9x13 baking dish. Add the sauce and mix in the pan. Top with the other half of the meat and vegetables. Top with mozzarella and swiss, then the chickpea crumbs.
8. Bake at 350C for 35 minutes.
