Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 3 min.

Prepare 200 g turnip (or other vegetable) tops (See these tips) then cook them into a pan over medium heat with 20 g butter (The frenchs said "faire tomber").

Set aside.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Prepare 300 g cauliflower, put it in a bowl, sprinkle it with 4 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper and mix well.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Pour onto a sheet of baking paper placed on a baking sheet...

Stage 4 - 20 min.

...and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Do not turn off the oven at the end of cooking.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Butter a casserole dish, and pour in the cauliflower.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Add the leaves and salt lightly.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Then 300 g cooked potatoes cut into slices, salt again slightly.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Pour 250 ml liquid cream.

Stage 9 - 4 min.

And finish with 100 g cheese, which you will grate or cut into strips depending on what you have on hand (here 2 leftover cheeses, Comté and Brie).

Stage 10 - 40 min.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

Remarks

The proportions of tops, cauliflower and potatoes are indicative, make with what you have on hand.

For the cheese, it is interesting to put several different ones, for example leftovers, even a little dry, which can be used without waste.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the refrigerator, protected by a stretch film.
