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)

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, use fresh parsnips that are firm and sweet. Older parsnips may have a woody texture and a bitter taste.
  • If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can substitute it with a mixture of milk and butter. For every cup of heavy cream, use 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of melted butter.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the gratin, such as thinly sliced potatoes, carrots, or zucchini. This will add extra flavor and texture to the dish.
  • If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle some panko breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese on top of the gratin before baking.
  • Serve the gratin immediately after baking, while it's still hot and bubbly. It can also be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.

Conclusion:

Parsnip gratin with turmeric and cumin is a delicious and elegant side dish that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet parsnips, creamy sauce, and aromatic spices creates a dish that is both comforting and sophisticated.
