Welsh Vegetable Pie

Submitted by NotQuiteVegetarian

"This is a lovely dish to serve with rich flavoured casseroles, like coq au vin or beef in red wine. It's a bit different from the usual vegies, but still good old fashioned comfort food! The recipe below makes enough to serve six as a side dish."

This was a lovely way to serve vegetables that I've never really been sure how to use. I didn't have the required quantity of parsnips so I added some potato and carrot. I'll try it the proper way next time. This will be a great winter recipe.

A hearty vegetable mash which we enjoyed greatly with Creamy Sausage and Triple Mustard Casserole #89260. Next time we may add some sliced leeks to the root vegetables, and sprinkle with some breadcrumbs, as well as the cheese, before popping into the oven. Thanks Susan :-)
