Potato bake with creamy green pea sauce

We're breaking with tradition: instead of sour cream, a vibrant green, sweetish green pea cream embraces the potato slices. This dish is not only visually exciting with the play of green and yellow layers, but also brings a surprising harmony in flavour: the softness of coconut cream and the freshness of peas meet the homeliness of roasted potatoes.

Instructions

1

Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water until soft. Cool completely, then peel and slice into rounds.

Tip: Due to starch 'retrogradation', cooled potato is firmer, so it slices beautifully and doesn't break.
2

Boil the peas for 3-4 minutes in hot water, then drain.

Tip: Do not overcook, so they keep their beautiful green colour.
3

Place the peas, coconut cream, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend into a completely smooth, vibrantly green cream.

Tip: The fat content of the coconut cream makes the emulsion creamy.
4

Grease an ovenproof dish with oil. Layer the potatoes, spread with pea cream, and sprinkle with a little cheese. Continue layering.

5

Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese and breadcrumbs, then drizzle with a little oil.

Tip: The combination of crumbs and oil forms a crispy crust.
6

Bake at 180°C for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

7

Rest before serving, then sprinkle with parsley.

Recipe FAQ

What kind of peas should I use?
Young, frozen garden peas are best because they are sweet and brightly coloured. Tinned peas are too soft and pale for this.
