- Slice enough parsnips thinly lengthways to cover the surface of a small ovenproof dish, then slice the rest thinly into rounds. Combine the milk, cream, stock, mustard and half the cheese in a large, lidded saucepan and bring to the boil. Add a good grating of nutmeg and some seasoning - the sweet parsnips can take a bit of salt - then tip in the parsnips. When the cream is simmering again, cover and cook for 6 mins.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables. Parsnips and asparagus are both great choices for this dish, but you can also use other root vegetables like carrots or turnips. Just make sure they're all about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good one. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère are both good choices.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many ways to make this dish your own. Try adding different herbs, spices, or vegetables. You can also use different types of cheese or even a different type of sauce.
Conclusion:
Parsnip and asparagus au gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. With its creamy cheese sauce, tender vegetables, and crispy breadcrumb topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new side dish to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
