Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a flameproof dish over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 10 mins until softened, then stir in the flour and cook for a further 2 mins. Add the carrots, cauliflower, garlic and rosemary, and cook for 5 mins, stirring regularly, until they begin to soften.
  2. Tip the tomatoes into the vegetables along with a can full of water. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 mins, then remove the lid and cook for 10-15 mins more, until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are cooked. Season, stir in the peas and cook for 1 min more.
  3. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 10-15 mins until tender. Drain, then place back in the saucepan and mash. Stir through enough milk to reach a fairly soft consistency, then add the remaining olive oil and season.
  4. Heat the grill. Spoon the hot vegetable mix into a pie dish, top with the mash and drag a fork lightly over the surface. Place under the grill for a few mins until the top is crisp golden brown.

    Very nice. Needs plenty seasoning and maybe a bit of veggie Parmesan in the mash next time.

    This was a perfect solution when I was lacking inspiration and an array of expensive ingredients.Used brocolli instead of cauliflower and added 400ml vegeyable stock after the tomatoes. Added a few drops Worcestershire sauce when seasoning. The outcome was a very hearty, warming meal, which we served with a couple of sausages and a slice of crusty bread.

    Simple to make and a good way of using up the load of vegetable I have left over end of the week. Added some chicken stock in place of water and grated some mature cheddar in the mash. Enhanced the flavours a lot. This dish has some lovely, strong colors. Served with crusty bread for a weekday dinner.

    I used dried rosemary, which gave the dish a lovely flavour. Will definitely make again.
