Creamy parsnip & mustard gratin image

This luxuriously creamy bake is the perfect partner to Sarah's veggie pie

Provided by Sarah Cook

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

800g parsnip , peeled
400ml milk
200ml double cream
200ml vegetable stock
4 tsp wholegrain mustard
4 tbsp grated Twineham Grange cheese (see Know-how, below)

ASPARAGUS-AND-POTATO GRATIN



Asparagus-and-Potato Gratin image

Is anything better than a decadent potato gratin? Yes: a potato gratin with asparagus and prosciutto. The sweet, grassy undertones of goat cheese and sharp Pecorino Romano compliment this side-turned-dinner dish beautifully and will have the whole family asking for seconds.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs (from 3 large slices rustic bread)
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small bunch asparagus (about 12 ounces), trimmed
4 medium white- or red-skinned potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano (1 ounce), plus more for serving
6 thin slices prosciutto
Chive blossoms, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss bread-crumbs with oil; season with salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until crisp and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add asparagus. Return to a boil and cook until crisp-tender, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Add potatoes to pot; cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Arrange potatoes in the bottom of an 8 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch or 2-quart baking dish (about 1 1/2 inches deep).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook until it has a slightly nutty aroma, about 30 seconds. Gradually (to avoid lumps) whisk in milk. Bring mixture to a boil and cook, whisking, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; add both cheeses and whisk until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour half of sauce over potatoes. Arrange prosciutto and half of asparagus on top. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Top with remaining asparagus, then bread-crumbs. (Dish can be made to this point and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day; add 10 minutes to baking time.) Bake until bubbling around edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly; serve, sprinkled with more Pecorino and chive blossoms.

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!
