Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 15 min.

Preparing the vegetables

Prepare 500 g cauliflower, cut into strips (a mandolin is ideal for this).

Set aside.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 15 min.

Peel and slice 500 g potatoes (a mandolin is also ideal for this), then wash.

Set aside.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 15 min.

Prepare 400 g green cabbage, cut into julienne strips, then

set aside.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 2 min.

Place a large saucepan over medium heat and pour in 1 litre whole milk, 2 bayleaves, 1 garlic clove and 1 sprig thyme, then season with salt and pepper.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 8 min.

Pour in the cauliflower and cook until tender.

Drain and set aside.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 10 min.

Do the same with the potato slices.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 7 min.

Then add the cabbage strips.

You're done with the milk, so I suggest you remove and discard the garlic, bay leaf and thyme, then set it aside, or freeze it, for another savoury recipe (béchamel sauce in particular).

Stage 8 - ⌛ 1 min.

Assembling the gratin

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Butter a gratin dish.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 1 min.

Pour in the cauliflower.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 3 min.

Then the cabbage and half the Saint-Nectaire cheese, cut into strips.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 3 min.

Add the potatoes, pour over 250 ml liquid cream, then the other half of the Saint-Nectaire cheese, also in strips.

Stage 12 - ⌛ 30 min.

Bake at 200°C (390°F) for around 30 minutes.

Your gratin auvergnat is ready.

Remarks

To cook vegetables in milk, each time you finish cooking a vegetable, pour the contents of the saucepan (milk + vegetables) into a colander placed on a salad bowl, then pour the milk back into the saucepan for the next vegetable. It's quicker and easier than removing the vegetables with a skimmer.

As with all gratins, the quantities given are a guide only, so don't hesitate to adapt them to your own taste, or to what you have on hand.

For a more golden gratin top, sprinkle with an additional 80g of grated cheese, ideally Cantal, before putting in the oven.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
