A good hearty, economical winter veg dish. Delicious served with some kind of gravy, especially mushroom gravy.
Cooking Temperature 200 C / 400 F / Gas Mark 6
Ingredients
- 2 Parsnips
- 3 Turnips peeled, diced
- 2 Carrots sliced thickly
- ½ cup Mushrooms canned, sliced
- 4 tablespoons Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic crushed
- 1 teaspoon Rosemary dried
- ½ teaspoon Thyme dried
- 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard

- 1 cup Milk
- 4 oz Cheddar Cheese sliced

Instructions
- Start the oven heating to 200 C / 400 F / Gas Mark 6.
- Cut the parsnips into lengthwise wedges, removing the tough centre cores if there are any. Peel and slice the rest of the root veg. Place all the root veg in a large roasting tin, toss in 3 tablespoons of the olive oil to coat them all, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 20 minutes.
- While this is happening, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, and cook in it the herbs, mushrooms and garlic until the garlic is tender.
- Remove the veg from the oven, mix the mustard in to coat, and return to oven until the veg are tender and caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- While this is happening, mix the eggs, flour and milk together to make a batter.
- Remove the veg from the oven when carmelized and tender, arrange in a casserole dish, sprinkle the mushroom mix over the veg, then pour the batter over it all.
- Cook for 20 minutes, then remove and place the cheese slices over top, then bake in oven for a further 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.
