Ingredients:

• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 carrots
• 1 potato
• 2 parsnips
• 1 rutabaga
• 3 sprigs of parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon of thyme
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Orange juice (amount not specified)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Wash and peel the carrots, potatoes, parsnips, and rutabaga.
   • Cut all the vegetables on a diagonal into thin slices.

2. Initial Cooking:

   • In a large Teflon pan with a tight-fitting cover, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
   • Sauté the garlic for one minute.
   • Add the sliced vegetables to the pan and cook on medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to caramelize them and enhance their flavors.

3. Transfer to Casserole Dish:

   • Once the vegetables are slightly caramelized, transfer them into a square casserole dish.
   • Cover the dish and cook in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the breadcrumbs on top are browned.

4. Layering and Seasoning:

   • Layer the cooked vegetables in the casserole dish, starting with potatoes at the bottom, followed by carrots, turnips, rutabaga, and onions.
   • Sprinkle salt, pepper, sugar, and a splash of orange juice over the layers, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
   • Toss the vegetables gently to coat them with the seasoning.

5. Final Cooking Steps:

   • Cook the vegetables covered over medium-high heat, allowing them to steam and caramelize.
   • As the bottom layer begins to brown, remove the cover and gradually rotate the vegetables to ensure even cooking.
   • Once all the vegetables have developed a slight caramelization, remove the pan from heat.
   • Toss the cooked vegetables with freshly chopped parsley and thyme, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Finishing Touches:

   • Spoon the caramelized vegetables into a buttered casserole dish.
   • Top the vegetables with seasoned breadcrumbs and drizzle with the remaining melted butter.
   • Cover the casserole dish and bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
   • After 10 minutes, remove the cover and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Test the doneness of the vegetables by inserting a fork into the casserole.
   • Serve the Wonderful Winter Vegetable Casserole hot as a delightful side dish or a wholesome main course, and relish the flavors of the winter harvest!
