Recipe by: Abigail Donnelly
Serves: 6
Category: Great value
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
2 celeriac bulbs, peeled
3 mediterranean potatoes, peeled
2 T butter
fresh nutmeg, for grating
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cream
200 g wood-smoked streaky bacon, chopped
1 cup good-quality chicken stock
100 g gorgonzola
1 bulb fennel
Cooking instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180 C.  Slice both the celeriac bulbs and teh potatoes into thin rounds.  Grease a square ovenproof ish with butter and layer some of teh potato and celeriac slices on its base.

Grate fresh nutmeg on top, then season to taste and add a splash of cream.  Repeat until all the potato is finished.  Fry the chopped bacon in a pan over a high heat until crisp.

Remove from heat and set aside.  Pour the stock over the potato-celeriac mixture and sprinkle over half the cooked bacon.  Tear the Gorgonzola into chunks and dot on the surface of the bake.

Run the blade of a vegetable peeler along the fennel bulb to create shavings and use to top the bake.  Season and bake for 1 hour,  or until the potatoes are tender and the bake is golden and bubbling.

Remove and leave to cool slightly.  Scatter over the remaining bacon and serve.
