  We've made this a couple of times since the magazine came out, it's a good 'healthy January' recipe. The sweet potato does give it quite a sweet taste so I've added a good shake of worcestershire sauce or some extra mushroom ketchup. This recipe will definitely be on standby for healthy/light dinners. Works well made the day before too.

  Really want to try this, does anyone know whether this would be suitable for a slow cooker? I have one but am yet to use it, would be handy for nights when I get in late...

  Made this tonight, didn't have any mushroom ketchup, so added ketchup and whole mushrooms, figured it would be the same thing. Added 2 cloves crushed garlic and added to the cabbage some sliced leeks and savoy cabbage. Dollop of butter for a bit of flavour and wha-la a perfect winter meal.

  Easy to make. Great for a cold winter evening. Served with broccoli instead of cabbage.

  I am going to make this in my new slow cooker that I got for christmas! I think it will probably only take 3-4 hours on low heat as sweet potato and mince cook quite quickly compared to joints of meat. Will rate once I'm done!

  Good simple meal but would put in less liquid and felt it needed a kick of flavour, when I next make it either add garlic or worcestershire but still a good meal.

  Mushroom Ketchup made by Geo. Watkins & Co I believe. Not widely available hence why I sell it in my employers farm shop @ Heligan.

  Lovely recipe. Very flavoursome, easy and cheap to feed a family. A few on here have said they used tomato ketchup and another ingredient in place of mushroom ketchup. They are completely different. If you cant get mushroom ketchup, you are better off mixing 3/4 tbsp of Worcester sauce with 1/4 tbsp of malt vinegar. Goes very well with this. Gives the meat a lovely salty tang to it.

  Really hearty and healthy, comforting winter one-pot. Reminded me of my granny's cooking (in a good way!). First experience of mushroom ketchup (which I found on Ocado) which is definitely not mushrooms mixed with ketchup, but more like a vinegary Worcestershire sauce.

  Added a bit of paprika in. Should've added stock instead of water and found that it went really well with spring greens or broccoli.

  I used white vinegar and Worcestershire sauce as some have suggested and it was good. Couldn't source the mushroom ketchup easily - I've down rated the recipe for this reason; otherwise worked well.

  This is my second go at this, 1st time did with Worcestershire sauce, this time with mushroom ketchup, courtesy of Waitrose, delicious either way, i think maggi sauce would work equally well!
