Summer root veg gratin

Main Serves 4 1h 15 min

This tender and creamy summer root veg gratin makes a very easy vegetarian main – and doubly so if you've got a mandolin or food processor to slice your veg nice and thin. Eat it just with a crisp green salad, or alternatively as side to a fuller spread of chicken or sausages.
