We've been ill for the last week-- off stomachs, achy, deep coughs, froggy voices-- but I feel better when I am outside, poking around in the yard. This is what I saw, last Friday, as I trimmed out the vegetable gardens.
Root Vegetable Gratin--adapted from the Tassahara Cookbook
This recipe is clearly adaptable for all sorts of vegetables! The recipe called for celery root, instead of parsnip, but, we had parsnips. I think it would also be lovely with leeks or onions, carrots, probably NOT beets, but most other roots. It is clearly comfort food and perfect for a week when nothing tastes good, not even chocolate.
Equal proportions of potatoes, fennel bulb, and parsnips, diced or sliced. Layer by vegetable in a covered casserole dish, sprinkling a sliced garlic clove, salt and pepper, and olive oil over each layer (3-4 garlic cloves, total!). Cover. Bake until tender. Eat. Make again next week.
