Riced Turnip Gratin is a creamy and cheesy low-carb dish that transforms turnips into a delightful alternative to traditional rice. This comforting gratin is baked to perfection, offering a delightful blend of flavors and textures in every bite.

Ingredients

• Turnip - 300 grams, riced
• Heavy cream - 100 ml
• Shredded cheddar cheese - 100 grams
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Butter - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Thyme - 1/2 teaspoon, dried
• Chives - 1 tablespoon, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Peel the turnip and cut it into small pieces. Rinse them under cold water and then grate or process them until they resemble rice grains.
3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the riced turnip to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Mix well.
6. Stir the cooked riced turnip into the cheese mixture until fully combined.
7. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
