Very easy to make, this gratin will go perfectly with many dishes, with its sweet and salty taste, white meat will be perfect.
Preparation time : 20 minutes
Cooking time : 20 minutes
Ingredient for 4 people:
- 8 small turnips or 4 big
- Sugar
- 6 potatoes (sweeten the taste of the turnips a bit)
Recipe for Caramelized Turnip Gratin
Cook the potatoes beforehand, then cut them into slices.
Peel your turnips, then cut them into slices (preferably quite thin too).
Blanch them: this consists of putting your vegetables in a saucepan of water and bringing them to the boil for a few minutes (usually as soon as the water begins to wriggle: allow 2-3 minutes)
Preheat your oven to 180 °,
Meanwhile,
- Prepare a small plate of sugar that you will reserve
- Drain your turnips
- Place them in the double-sided sugar plate (be careful not to be excessive with the sugar)
Brown a knob of butter in a pan, when it wriggles,
- Place your turnip rings in the pan, making sure to turn them on both sides so that they caramelize slightly.
- Take them out of the pan and set them aside.
Gratin finishes
Butter your dish a little,
- Place a layer of potatoes, then a layer of turnip and so on until the stock is finished
You can optionally add a pinch of grated Gruyere in a thin layer so as not to break the taste of the caramel.
- Heat for 20 minutes
- Remove from oven and serve piping hot
One last tip
I really like to serve this gratin with thinly sliced white meat, which I fry in the pan, with a knob of butter, to then flavor it with some freshly picked aromatics such as coriander.
