Nigel's Root Vegetable Gratin

Root Vegetable Gratin

听

by Rachel Allen from Rachel鈥檚 Everyday Kitchen (Harper Collins)听

听

There is an open secret to making gratins taste divine 鈥� adding cream & plenty of it!

听

I like to combine carrots, parsnips & celeriac for their distinctive flavour & contrasting colours. 听Serve as a rich accompaniment to roast chicken or with grilled or roast lamb; it also makes a delicious meal in itself.听
