Do you enjoy Gratins? I do - they taste so good and can work well either as a side dish or a main course. This recipe goes well with a Sunday Roast Dinner, but can be enjoyed any day of the week - how about tomorrow!?
Ingredients
Serves Six
750g (1½lb) leeks, trimmed and cut into chunks
6 sticks of celery, chopped
400ml (14fl oz) vegetable stock
100ml (3½fl oz) half-fat crème fraîche
nutmeg, grated
25g (1oz) breadcrumbs
100g (3½oz) Gruyère, grated
Method
1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220ºC, fan 200ºC. Boil the vegetables for 5 minutes, drain and put in an ovenproof dish.
2. Mix together the vegetable stock, crème fraîche and nutmeg. Season.
3. Pour the creamy mixture over the vegetables, cover in foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove and set aside.
4. Remove the foil from the vegetable dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs and cheese. Cook for another 20 minutes until the topping is golden and crispy.

Tips
If you do not have any leeks, try using spring onions (scallions) or white onions instead.

Se ve muy rico. Gracias por la receta.
This sounds so good! We don't often use leeks and celery as a dish to themselves, but I will have to try this one.
Delicious
...I haven't had leeks.
Beautiful tulips and signs of spring to come! I don't cook with leeks very often and should try to prepare them someday is a delicious casserole such as this.
That looks good. Anything topped with bread crumbs and cheese is a winner.
Have a great week.
Gruyère is huge favourite. The gratin looks so yummy, Jan.
That seems a lovely one. We have a few but not a lot.
That looks hearty to taste
Hmmmm...Realmente uma delícia!
Ótima semana! beijos, chica
It's a pleasure to read your blog, as it is versatile and interesting. I like that recipe with celery and fresh cream. Maybe it's not easy to find nutmegs here.
Leek and celery, that sounds tasty. I think it would go very well with a Sunday roast, I must give it a go.
Looks delicious, Jan! Thanks for sharing.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a great week ahead.
It sounds good and I could easily tweek it. I do like leeks and celery a lot :-D Thanks Jan :-D
I’ve not cooked with leeks, but always looking for veggie dishes, so thank you.
I wish I liked cheese. The tulips are so pretty
It's looking delcious. Thank you for the recept. Have a nice day !
Sadly our oven takes forever to get hot.
So... today I made your "Brussels Sprouts and Cheddar Cheese Soup" - superyummy again!
I would love to try this recipe. Looks so good.
Looks delicious Jan, thank you! A happy day to you also my friend and all the best!
That sounds really good to me. I hope you are well.
Boa tarde de segunda-feira, com muita paz e saúde. Salivei, deve ser delicioso 😋 😋 😋. Obrigado pela dica gastronômica.
Yet another yummy recipe!
This sounds delicious. I'll have to get some leeks and give it a try.
This looks and sounds really good!!
A gratin made with bread and cheese transforms any vegetable dish into a delight.
This looks very good. We are ramping up our low carb again, so this one sounds extra good.
I have never cared for gratin for some reason, hubby likes it but I have never made it for him our whole married life, poor guy!
I do love gratin dishes and this looks different and delicious.
We use dry celery seeds,mom used to add in her special health recipes.but never saw the fresh plant of it in market
I have a hard time finding leeks, but after two attempts, last summer I did grow a few nice ones. You have to start them indoors and it took all summer for them to get to a nice size.
Looks delicious.
All the best and greetings,
Hilly
Muy buena receta. Besos.
