Gratin

Buttered Heirloom Carrots

Sautéed Courgettes

Method

Gratin

  1. 1

    Prepare Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam them until just tender, around 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then add the blue cheese and stir until melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Assemble Gratin

    In a baking dish, layer the steamed cauliflower florets. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, ensuring all pieces are covered. Top with breadcrumbs and dot with butter.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Buttered Heirloom Carrots

  1. 5

    Prepare Carrots

    In a pot of salted water, bring the heirloom carrots to a boil. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.

  2. 6

    Sauté Carrots

    In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and toast for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the cooked carrots, salt, and pepper, and sauté for another 5 minutes until heated through.

Sautéed Courgettes

  1. 7

    Sauté Courgettes

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced courgettes and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned.

  2. 8

    Prepare Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, chopped mint, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the sautéed courgettes and serve alongside the gratin and carrots.
