Roasted Garlic Dauphinoise

Roasted Garlic Dauphinoise

By OcadoLifePublished on 02 December 2021All side dishes are born equal but some are more equal than others. This roast garlic dauphinoise from MOB is certainly at the top of the hierarchy. Using roasted garlic for extra flavour, it’s a decadent and indulgent side dish that accentuates a Sunday roast, including Christmas lunch, or a steak dinner on a Saturday night. The dusting of grated nutmeg adds a warming, festive flavour that works well alongside seasonal roasted vegetables and other trimmings. One of the best things about this recipe is that it tastes amazing the next day, too - so, although it’s hard, do try to keep some leftovers.
