Method

  1. Put the bacon in a non-stick pan with 1 tbsp olive oil and brown. Remove, and brown the onions in the same oil. Return the bacon to the pan along with the swede and carrot and season well. Pour in the chicken stock, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the veg is tender. Stir in the parsley. Divide between 4 individual pie dishes. Keep warm.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling water until just tender (about 8 minutes). Drain and cool, then mash. Spoon onto the swede mixture, keeping the potato fluffy, and sprinkle with seasoning. Grill until the potato starts to brown.

    Delicious - although I steamed the carrots and swede together beforehand to make sure they were thoroughly cooked. Combined ingredients together with a little flour and the stock. Really tasty easy meal, and will certainly have it again.

    I used vegetable stock instead of chicken stock,and after dividing between 4 individual pie dishes there were some stock left in the pan,so I had them as soup.It was so delicious.

    I used Ramekin dishes for the individual portions and thought that they would be too small - but all the mixture fit between 4 dishes and the potatoe was piled on top. Was a tasty, homely dish and I was suprised how filling one serving was. Def will make again.
