Poussins with Potato, Celeriac & Porcini Gratin
If doing a whole turkey for four people seems a lot of work, this is a great, easy substitute. The birds are baked on top of a rich, creamy gratin, so all you need to do is take the tray to the table and serve

PREP: 25 mins - TOTAL TIME: 1 hr 55 mins

GET AHEAD:
Prep the gratin to the end of step 4 the day before, cover and chill. Continue from step 5, baking the gratin for 1 hr initially from chilled before adding the poussins for 45 mins.

WASTE NOT:
* Use a food processor to blitz leftover dried porcini to a powder to use as a seasoning in soups, stews and pasta sauces. Or, for an indulgent side, sprinkle through mashed potato with a splash of cream.
