Leek and Potato Gratin

Gratins are a great option for vegetarians, either as a side-dish or more of a main meal. Leeks and potatoes are a match made in heaven and when combi...ned with some tangy cheese they make a really flavoursome dish.

This one-pot recipe allows the leeks to cook down slowly alongside the potatoes, making them soft and sweet. I love adding more robust herbs such as thyme and rosemary that pair really well with the leeks. This dish makes a great side to have with a roast dinner, it’s super saucy which means it’s perfect to go alongside a nut roast- I also love it with veggie sausages.
