Root Vegetable Gratin Recipe

This recipe is sufficient for an 8” round pyrex casserole dish, and serves 4-6 people as a side, but you can double it, or more, to make extra.

Ingredients

1 small onion, chopped
1 small turnip, thinly sliced
1/4 medium rutabaga, chopped into 1/2” cubes 1 small sweet potato, thinly sliced
1 5oz tub of crumbled blue cheese
1 1/2 cups fresh bone broth
Salt and pepper to taste

Step One

Prepare all your vegetables and put into bowls.

Step Two

Beginning with sweet potato, start to layer the vegetables in your dish (I use a round pyrex casserole dish with a lid), alternating each of the vegetables layers with a sprinkling of blue cheese and some salt and pepper.

Step Three

When the vegetables are layered, pour over the bone broth.

Step Four

Bake in a 425F oven for 1 hour, or until the vegetables are soft.
