Monday - Originally known as Moon's Day. Cooking on Monday will improve magicks for creativity, insight, maternal nature and Goddess-related efforts.
Good foods to eat are mushrooms, for moon magick, and potatoes, for grounding. Here, then, is a recipe for potato-mushroom gratin, courtesy of epicurious.com
Potato-Mushroom Gratin
Ingredients:
5 Tbsp olive oil, divided
2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut length-wise into 1/8"-thick slices
1 1/2 tsp coarse Kosher salt, plus extra for the mushrooms
3/4 tsp ground black pepper, plus additional for mushrooms
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (approx. 3 oz), divided
2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
12 oz fresh crimini mushrooms, sliced
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Oil a 13x9x2 glass baking dish with 2 Tbsp oil. Arrange 1/3 of the potatoes so they overlap. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour 1/3 cream over; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layering 2 more times. Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender, adding additional cream by tablespoonfuls if dry, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven; maintain oven temperature.
Sprinkle thyme and garlic slices over gratin. Toss mushrooms in a medium bowl with 3 Tbsp oil; sprinkle on salt and pepper. Arrange mushroom slices atop gratin around the edge of the dish. Drizzle with 1/4 cup cream; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Continue to bake uncovered until mushrooms are tender and potato edges are golden brown, about 20 minutes longer.
