Coconut curry dauphinoise

This vegan dauphinoise recipe from chef Sabrina Gidda is a revelation. “I’m sure there’ll be many who feel a potato gratin should accompany roast meats or feature as a side dish, but I think this is absolutely knockout,” says Sabrina. “I’d eat it with a green salad and a cool crisp glass of riesling.”

Serves 2-4
-
Hands-on time 20 min. Oven time 1 hour
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 large onions, finely sliced
- 2 heaped tsp ginger paste
- 2 heaped tsp garlic paste
- 2 tsp green chilli paste or finely chopped green chilli
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 7 large floury potatoes (such as maris piper)
- 2 x 160ml tins coconut cream
- 300ml vegetable stock
Method
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the sliced onions and fry for 10 minutes until softened and beginning to brown. Add the ginger, garlic and chilli pastes (or chilli), cook for 5 minutes, then add the spices and salt. If you need to, add a splash of water to make sure the spices don’t burn.
- Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, then slice them as finely as you can, ideally using a mandoline. You want them all to be of an even thickness otherwise they won’t cook evenly. Mix the coconut cream and stock together in a jug.
- Heat the oven to 180°C fan/gas 6. Begin layering the potatoes in an ovenproof dish as evenly as you can. I aim for 4 layers in total, with the onion mix spread between each layer, with a final layer of potatoes on top. Pour in the coconut stock until the dish is full.
- Bake for 1 hour or until your potatoes are tender and the dish is bubbling.

You can cook the onion mixture up to a day in advance. Peel and slice the potatoes just before assembling so they don’t oxidise and turn brown.
