This is an elegant recipe, which can be prepared ahead of time. Perfect for a dinner party where you want to make as many preparations ahead as possible.
You can also make one large gratin, then double up the amounts in the recipe.
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 8 pcs asparagus potatoes (solanum tuberosum) or another firm variety with a nutty note
- rapeseed oil
- freshly ground pepper
- salt
For The Sauce
- 2,5 dl fresh thyme
- 2 pcs garlic cloves
- 3 dl non-dairy cream (I use oat cream)
- 2 dl raw cashew nuts, soaked
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1-2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
- sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
Instructions – Sauce
- Soak cashew nuts overnight and rinse well before using.
- Blend garlic and thyme in a food processor.
- Add cashews and process. Add lemon and work into a paste. You need to start and stop to scrape down the contents inside the food processor bowl, several times. To get a paste takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Ideally, let the paste stand overnight in the fridge.
- Add half the non-dairy cream to a pot on the stove, add the thyme & cashew paste, and blend with the cream. Add the rest of the cream and ensure the sauce is smooth and very thin.
- Add the veggie stock and nutmeg. Let simmer together on very low heat for 10-15 minutes.
- Taste with additional lemon juice and salt if preferred.
Instructions – Gratin
- Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible.
- Make the sauce (see directions above)
- Coat 4 small pie dishes in oil.
- Add a layer of potato to the bottom of each dish. Then add a layer of sauce, then add a layer of potato on top. Repeat until the last layer.
- Add the remaining potato slices to a bowl and coat evenly with rapeseed oil. Then build the top layer on each small gratin.
- Brush the top with rapeseed oil. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Place in a preheated oven, at 200 degrees C for 30-40 minutes.
- The top of the gratins should be golden brown and crisp.
