Successfully Completing Your Turmeric Treatment: The Complete Guide!

Turmeric gives a yellow color and a wonderful aroma to dishes. However, it can have a slight bitter taste when consumed raw or in powder form. You can improve its taste by combining it with other spices like paprika or cinnamon.

Let's get cooking!

Sweet Potato Gratin with Turmeric - for 4 people

Ingredients:

1. 4 to 5 sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced;

2. 2 tbsp olive oil;

3. ½ tsp turmeric powder;

4. 4 garlic cloves;

5. 200 g grated Gruyere cheese (or a vegan alternative);

6. 1 cup (240 ml) plant-based cream (soy, rice, almond...);

7. Fresh parsley;

8. Salt, freshly ground black pepper.

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the sweet potato slices for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the filling. In a small pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the turmeric powder. Sauté gently for 5 minutes until the aromas are released.
3. Grease a gratin dish. Place a layer of sweet potatoes at the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with grated Gruyere, then spread half of the filling on top. Repeat the process with the remaining sweet potatoes, Gruyere, and filling. Finish with a layer of cheese.
4. In a bowl, mix the plant-based cream with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes, ensuring the liquid is evenly distributed.
5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the gratin is golden and bubbling.
6. After taking it out of the oven, let the gratin rest for a few minutes before sprinkling with chopped parsley. Serve hot. You can accompany the gratin with a green salad.
