Leek gratin

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 4 large leeks
• 500 g carrot(s)
• 500 g minced meat, mixed
• 250 g grated cheese (varietal to your taste, e.g. Emmental)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup crème fraîche
• Clarified butter, other fats work too. I prefer ghee.
• nutmeg
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

simply

Halve the leeks and thoroughly remove any dirt and sand. Drain and cut into strips. Peel the carrots if necessary; otherwise, wash and slice them. Sauté the carrots in a little clarified butter. Then add the leeks and fry until they get a little brown. Remove the leeks and carrots from the pot and brown the minced meat. Once everything is browned, place them together in a pot or bowl. Add the sour cream and crème fraîche and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, after mixing well. If desired, add some of the grated cheese at this point. Place everything in a baking dish. Finally, spread the remaining cheese on top of the leeks. Bake in a hot oven on the middle rack at 180-200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 30 minutes. Potatoes go well with this.
