This elegant turnip gratin is a wonderful way to celebrate a humble root vegetable, transforming it into a luxurious vegetarian side dish. By slicing the turnips paper-thin and layering them with aromatic thyme and savoury, you create a beautiful texture that rivals the classic potato Dauphinoise. The addition of a little cayenne pepper provides a subtle warmth that cuts through the richness of the double cream and salty Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Ideal for a Sunday roast or a festive dinner party, this dish provides a sophisticated alternative to traditional starchy sides. Because the turnips are left unpeeled, the recipe is quick to prepare and retains a lovely rustic character. Serve it alongside roasted meats or as a comforting main course with a crisp, bitter leaf salad to balance the creamy flavours.
