Kale, Cauliflower & Sweet Potato Au Gratin
/
My plate was a swirl of rosemary-scented cream sauce and balsamic reduction, and I couldn't help but think about slurping it all up. The rich remains of this Kale, Cauliflower & Sweet Potato au Gratin were the perfect match to the acid balsamic reduction left behind from the chicken that had shared it's plate-- too perfect to just let slip by.
I took a lesson in efficiency from him in that moment and licked my plate too. No regrets. I proceeded to get seconds, and did it a second time on the second plate because, well, CREAM SAUCE.
Plus, this au gratin is made of *kale* and *cauliflower* so I was totally just getting extra nutrients, right?? And you will too when you go back for seconds (not that you have to stop at seconds -- don't hold back. Thirds are totally acceptable too. And fourths. Keep going, go ahead!).
