Ingredients

• 500 g Potatoes
• 400 g Celeriac
• 300 g Green cabbage
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 50 g Butter
• 25 g Plain flour
• 500 ml Whole milk
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 150 g Cheddar cheese, grated
• 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a medium-sized baking dish with a little butter or olive oil.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and celeriac, then thinly slice them into approximately 2-3mm thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandolin. Set aside.

Step 3

Shred the cabbage finely using a knife. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sliced potatoes and celeriac and blanch for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain well. Add the cabbage to the same pot and blanch for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the flour to form a roux and cook for 1 minute.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps remain. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the Dijon mustard, half of the grated cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Remove from the heat.

Step 7

To assemble the bake, layer half of the potato and celeriac slices on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the blanched cabbage, then pour over a third of the cheese sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining cheese sauce on top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and all the grated Parmesan evenly over the top.

Step 9

Drizzle a little olive oil over the surface for extra crispness. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Potato, Celeriac, and Cabbage Bake with a green salad or as a satisfying side dish.
