Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C and butter a shallow ovenproof dish. Layer the potatoes, then the parsnip in the bottom of the dish with two of the sliced garlic cloves and sprinkle over a little salt and half the rosemary. It's best to keep the potatoes buried under the other vegetables because they go black if they are on top of the gratin.
  2. Pour the cream and milk into a large saucepan, add the rest of the rosemary and garlic, the carrots and a little seasoning. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat to the lowest it will go and simmer for 3 minutes.
  3. Pour the carrots and cream over the other vegetables, and spread the carrots out. Sprinkle over the parmesan, cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake a further 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.

    Made this as part of our Christmas lunch and as a main for a vegetarian diner. I omitted the garlic but flavoured the cream with 2 tablespoons of horseraddish sauce. It went down extremely well! I also found that it took longer than stated in the recipe to cook. A lot of slicing.. but well worth the effort!

    Wow this recipe is amazing!! My husband loved it. I kinda tweaked it abit. I didn't have any double cream and used normal cream instead. I think it worked out well. I didn't put in the parsnip couldn't find nice fresh ones. I added mushrooms and leeks instead, and also followed the suggestions of some of the comments and added dijion mustard to the milk/cream mixture. I used a mandolin to slice my veggies which worked out quiet well. and then i gave a good glug of wine - i would say not more than a 1/4 cup. It came all together so nicely!! Definately a must!!! Thi9s is definately a recipe that you can play around with and add varies types of veggies!!

    I made this recipe for friends coming to dinner and they all enjoyed the idea of having veggies cooked together in this way. I certainly will be doing it again.

    Not bad, was not as nice as I thought it was going to taste, used Alpro Soya and felt it came out a little dry, will try adding a bit more next time and some seasoning to give it a bit more of a kick.

    This is now a Christmas Day family tradition - as I have to double the quantities it does take longer to cook and as oven space is at a premium on Christmas day, I cook it the day before (covered in foil) and reheat (adding a bit more milk/cream). Once cooked this stays hot for ages so is very user friendly!
