Servings: persons

1 lb celeriac (peeled weight)
10 ounces parsnips, peeled
1 ounce unsalted butter
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
½ teaspoon fresh thyme leave
1 cup vegetable broth or 1 cup chicken broth, hot
3 tablespoons heavy cream
3 ounces unsmoked streaky bacon, cut into 1/2in pieces
5 ounces mild blue cheese, crumbled

1
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F Peel and quarter the celeriac, and cut it into 1/4in slices.
2
Cut the parsnips into 1/4in slices, too.
3
Butter a gratin dish around 10in x 7in x 2.5in in size.
4
Put half the celeriac in an overlapping layer in the bottom, sprinkle on a little salt, pepper, a few grinds of nutmeg and some thyme.
5
Dot with a few scraps of butter, then add the parsnips in one layer and season as with the celeriac.
6
Top with another layer of celeriac.
7
Pour over the broth and cream, and cover tightly with foil.
8
Bake for 40 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
9
If it's still a little soupy, uncover and bake until most of the broth has evaporated.
10
While the vegetables are cooking, fry the bacon in a dry pan until just crisp.
11
Cool and toss in a bowl with the cheese.
12
Scatter this over the top of the gratin, turn up the heat to 200C/400F, and cook for a further 15 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbling.
