Time 2h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup breadcrumbs, fresh, brown
1/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, to taste
11 ounces potatoes, peeled
11 ounces parsnips, peeled
1 large turnip, peeled
11 ounces sweet potatoes, peeled
11 ounces rutabagas, peeled
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup light cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F & lightly butter a deep cake pan 8 inches in diameter, then line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl mix together the breadcrumbs, cheese, herbs & garlic, then season to taste with salt & pepper, before sprinkling half of this crumb mixture over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Slice all vegetables as thinly as possible, which is best done with a mandoline or in a food processor with a thin cutting disc.
  • The vegetables are to be layered in the prepared pan ~ lightly seasoning with the crumb mixture every couple of layers ~ starting with half of the potatoes, then half of the parsnips, then half of the turnip, then half of the sweet potato & finally half of the rutabaga.
  • At this point sprinkle a little more than half of the remaining breadcrumb mixture over everything, then start the entire process again, finally topping the last layer with the remaining crumb mixture.
  • Whisk together the eggs, vegetable stock & cream then season lightly.
  • Pour this mixture evenly over the layered vegetables & cover with aluminum foil, pinching around the edges to seal.
  • Bake for 1 hour, then remove the foil & bake another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler to high, then turn the cake onto a heatproof plate. Remove & discard the parchment paper lining before placing the cake under the broiler for 4 or 5 minutes or until it is crisp & golden.
  • Let it cool just slightly, then cut into wedges & serve.

Time 30m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 young potatoes
3 carrots
2 zucchini
2 eggs
2 ounces sour cream
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
salt
pepper
dried herbs

Steps:

  • Rinse vegetables, cut potatoes and carrots in 1-inch pieces and steam-cook with some salt for 15 minutes.
  • During that time, hard boil eggs; separately grate eggs and zucchini, reserve.
  • Prepare the "frosting" mixing together sour cream, mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
  • Separately grate potatoes and carrots.
  • On a serving platter, layer potatoes, carrots, zucchini and eggs, with the dressing between the layers.
  • Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables. This will ensure that your cake is flavorful and nutritious.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to your cake.
  • Cook the vegetables properly. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland. Undercooked vegetables will be hard and crunchy.
  • Use a light touch when layering the vegetables. You don't want to compress the vegetables and make the cake dense.
  • Bake the cake until it is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean.

Conclusion:

Layered vegetable cake is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your vegetables. It is a great option for a main course or a side dish. You can also use it as a centerpiece for a buffet. The possibilities are endless! So get creative and experiment with different vegetables and flavors. You're sure to find a combination that you love.
