Root vegetable gratin recipe

0 ratings

Root vegetables take centre stage rather than sitting in the wings in this Alpine-inspired main. Potatoes, sweet potatoes and parsnips combine with aromatic herbs and spices to create the perfect base for rich Gruyère cheese. This warming dish is perfect with a crisp green salad and tangy cornichons. Serve with a bottle of Evian Sparkling Water on the table. See method

Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
Melt 20g butter in a medium saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the shallot, cover with a lid and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until soft but not coloured. Add the stock, cream, thyme, nutmeg and garlic, and bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins to allow the flavours to infuse.
Meanwhile, arrange the vegetables in individual rows in a 1ltr ovenproof dish, so each row is just overlapping. Pour over the creamy mixture and sprinkle with cheese.
Cover with foil and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 50-60 mins, removing the foil for the final 20 mins of cooking, until a knife passes easily through the vegetables, and it has a lightly golden crust on top.
Cool for 10 mins before serving. Serve with a crisp green salad and cornichons on the side.
