This creamy, comforting side dish makes an indulgent accompaniment for roast pork

Turnip, potato & mustard gratin recipe

Ingredients

  • 450ml milk
  • 6 turnips, thickly sliced
  • 6 large potatoes, thickly sliced
  • butter, for greasing
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • 350ml double cream
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard

Method

  • Fill a saucepan with 500ml water, the milk, a good pinch of salt and a grinding of black pepper, then bring to the boil. Add the turnips and potatoes and cook for 2 mins. Strain, drain well and pat dry.

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a baking dish and rub the sides with garlic to just add a hint of flavour. Mix the cream and mustard in a large bowl, add the potatoes and turnip, mix until well coated and season really well. Layer into the baking dish, flattening the top level. Can be assembled and chilled a day ahead.

  • Bake for 30-40 mins or until golden brown and the turnip and potato are cooked through – check with the point of a sharp knife.
