Ingredients:

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2 large potatoes
• 2 zucchini
• 3 pears
• 1/2 cups of cream
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 pinch dried rosemary
• 10 fresh sage leaves
• 3 1/2 ounces cheddar
• 1 teaspoons salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper

 

Directions:

 

Step 1:

Heat the cream in a saucepan with chopped garlic, rosemary and whole sage leaves. Turn off the heat and let steep, covered.

 

Step 2:

Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and sweet potatoes. Steam until they are tender ( 20-30 minutes). Allow to cool, then cut into thin slices.

 

Step 3:

Peel pears and cut them into strips along with zucchini (no need to peel them).

 

Step 4:

Butter a round baking dish. Fill the dish, alternating 1 row of potatoes, 1 row of pears, 2 rows of sweet potatoes and 2 rows of zucchini (place them tightly against each other to make them stand upright).

 

Step 5:

Remove the sage leaves in the sauce. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and pour over the vegetable slices. Sprinkle with grated cheddar.

 

Step 6:

Bake for about 1 hour in a preheated oven at 390°F (200°c).
