About the Recipe
An upgrade on a warming classic – the gratin. This dish makes a change from using potatoes and adds an earthier note alongside the sweetness of leeks.

Celeriac is a rich source of fibre with lower carbohydrates than potatoes but also provide much needed B6 and Zinc essential in supporting gut health.
The use of leeks for a source of fructan and oat crème fraiche add some fuel for the gut bacteria too.

1kg celeriac (sliced 3mm slices)
2 leeks (finely sliced)
270ml plant cream
100ml oat crème fraiche
300ml vegetable stock

1 tsp garlic (minced)
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp rosemary (finely chopped)
