FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F)
• 2.   Cut the ginger into small pieces and divide it into three portions:
  - to cook the bacon
  - to cook the vegetables
  - for the sauce
• 3.   Start by frying the bacon, and when the fat starts to render, add the ginger. Set aside.
• 4.   Finely slice the leeks and carrots. Sauté them in the bacon fat, adding butter if necessary. Add the ginger. For faster cooking, cook over medium/high heat, add half a glass of water, and cover. Set aside.
• 5.   Brown the remaining ginger in a knob of butter, then add the heavy cream. It's ready when it's melted.
• 6.   In a gratin dish, layer the vegetables first, then cover with the bacon, pour the cream over it, and top with grated cheese.
• 7.   Bake for 25 minutes (you can add the grated cheese after 15 minutes if desired).
