Swede & bacon pies

Swede and bacon were made for each other, so putting them together in a pie gives swede a starring role for once

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.

    When my lass smelt the pan (before I added the Parsley) she turned her nose up, but 15 minutes and a clean bowl later she was asking if there was more. We both really, really enjoyed this, and I will absolutely be making this again. Perfect winter dish for my tastebuds :)

    Hubby and I really enjoyed this dish. parboiled the swede first as I prefer it a bit softer and cooked the potatoes for 20 - 25 mins and used streaky bacon (all I had in fridge but back really would be better). I also just used my normal shepherd pie dish rather than individual. Really tasty dinner, not as good reheated. would definitely make this again.

    Yowzers! I thought I hated swede, but now I have had to hastily rethink my position. This pie is delicious and so tasty - a winner!
