Try outour recipe for winter root gratin
1¼ liter (1¼ quart) milk
salt and pepper
500 grams (1 lb) root vegetables
500 grams (1 lb) potatoes
1 clove of garlic, peeled
grated nutmeg
375 ml (1½ cup) crème fraîche (or heavy liquid cream)
90 grams (3 oz) grated Gruyère cheese
Italian parsley, chopped
Directions
Pour the milk into a large pan, adding salt and pepper. Peel the potatoes and the roots, slice them thinly and add them at once to the milk pan. Bring them to the boil and simmer until they are almost tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain and reserve 375 ml (1½ cup) of the milk. Keep the rest for another purpose, such as soup.
Rub a shallow baking dish with the garlic and then butter it. Spread half the vegetables in the baking dish and season them with salt and pepper. Add the remaining vegetables and season again. Stir the reserved milk with the nutmeg into the cream and pour it over the vegetables. Sprinkle with the grated cheese. The gratin can be prepared up to 12 hours ahead and kept in the refrigerator.
Bake the gratin at 180ºC (350ºF) for 25-30 minutes until it is very hot and the top has browned. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
