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.

    This dish is so easy to make but you need a ton of seasoning to make it less bland! We added some extra veg to use up what was left in the fridge and that's what makes this dish really useful. Use veggie or chicken stock instead of water though and add some cheese to the mash.

    Nope - sorry all, but, really not keen on this one. It totally lacked depth of flavour and interest. I liked the idea of it, but, chuck in some different veggies and something (I don't know what!!) to stop it tasting like pasta sauce and you may be on to something. Failing that, maybe just chuck in half a cow and enjoy :o) --- MOOO

    I loved this! However I did tweak it a little... I cooked everything for longer, used cornflour instead of plain flour, added a veggie knorr stock cube (the liquid/gel ones in little capsules), added a god gulg of Lea & Perrins, lots of grated pepper and about 8 sliced and browned off Quorn Swedish meatballs at the same time as the peas. Oh and light mayo and butter to the mash, along with Parmesan and mature cheddar on top of the mash. A great basis for a pie. I expect red lentils would work well as a sauce thickener, along with chopped parsnips/swede. YUM! I'll definitely keep making variations of this! (It serves 6-8 I think, rather than 4!)
