Potato, Kale and Pumpkin Gratin Recipe from Blazing Salads

This Potato, Kale and Pumpkin Gratin Recipe was a winner at the Blazing Salads’ deli, and the recipe was requested many times. A delicious way to eat kale and pumpkin, and a quirky twist on a classic gratin recipe.

Serves 6

Ingredients:

2 potatoes (450g), eg. Rooster, Maris Piper
2 cloves garlic
Sea salt
500g pumpkin
3 sprigs fresh thyme
120g kale
2 sprigs fresh sage (about 8 leaves)
125ml fresh cream
125mls whole milk
90g vegetarian cheddar cheese
45g vegetarian Parmesan cheese (or other hard cheese)

Method:

1. Preheat oven to Gas 6, 200C, 400F.
2. Wash the potatoes and leaving the skin on, thinly slice using a food processor, mandolin or sharp knife.
3. Place ⅔ into an oven proof dish, approx.; 25cm x 17cm. Finely chop the garlic and sprinkle over the sliced potato. Lightly season with sea salt.
4. Wash the pumpkin and remove the seeds. Leaving the skin on, thinly slice and layer ½ on top of the potato and garlic.
5. Remove the leaves from the tough thyme sprigs and sprinkle on top of the pumpkin. Layer the remaining sliced potato on top and lightly season with sea salt.
6. Remove the tough stem from the kale, wash and tear into bite size pieces. Layer on top of the potato. Layer the remaining sliced pumpkin on top of the kale, lightly season with sea salt.
7. Mix the milk and cream together and pour over the vegetables.
8. Cover with tinfoil and place in the centre of the pre-heated oven for 50 minutes. After the 50 minutes, remove from the oven. Take off the tinfoil cover.
9. Sprinkle on the grated vegetarian cheddar cheese, and sprinkle on the finely grated vegetarian parmesan cheese.
10. Place it back in the oven for a further 10 minutes to melt the cheese.

Tip:

  • This dish can be prepared in advance. Bake for the 50 minutes. Cool and refrigerate. Before serving the gratin, sprinkle the cheeses on top, place in a preheated oven for 30 minutes until heated through.
