very delicious in taste, without cream and without artificial additives

Clean the vegetables, cut 200g florets from each cabbage head, blanch them in a little boiling water for about 5 minutes, and then refresh them in iced or cold water. Cook the chopped leek and the cut-up stalks in the little blanching liquid until soft. The vegetables should just be covered; the less liquid, the more flavorful the broth will be. Meanwhile, peel and wash the potatoes, cut into thin slices, and lightly pat dry. Arrange them in a casserole dish (approx. 20 x 30 cm). Garnish the top layer with the cooled, lightly patted florets. Set the dish aside. When the rest of the cabbage is tender, strain the broth into a measuring jug and measure out 200ml. Return it to the pot and puree the vegetables using a hand blender. Now add all the remaining ingredients, except the cheddar, season with salt and pepper, and blend again until the cream is smooth and homogenous. Spread this cream as the final layer on the potatoes and florets while they are still warm, as it is still easy to spread. Place the dish uncovered in the preheated oven and bake the gratin for 55 minutes at approximately 180°C (top/bottom heat). Then sprinkle the cheddar over the top and bake for another 10 minutes with the grill function on, until the cheese is golden brown. After a resting time of about 5 minutes, the potato and vegetable gratin is ready to serve. You can serve it with any kind of meat side dish.
