Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Grease a 2 litre ovenproof dish with the butter, then cover the base with half the potato slices arranged in 2 layers. Top with half the sliced beetroot, all the sliced celeriac, then the remaining beetroot, seasoning lightly between each layer. Finish with two layers of the remaining potato slices.
- Mix the cream, mustard, nutmeg and gruyère together in a jug, then pour over the layered vegetables. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes until the top is golden and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard and vinegars. Season well, then whisk in the oil. Whisk in the lemon juice to taste. Pour half the dressing out of the bowl into a jug. Just before serving, add the salad to the bowl and toss well, then add more dressing to taste. Serve the salad with the gratin.
