Vegetarian cottage pie

All of this cold weather calls for warming, hearty comfort food.
I have been making this same recipe for years and it never has any leftovers.
Everyone has their own version of a cottage pie. This simple recipe has to be my favourite that I would recommend that you make from my little blog it’s for my vegetable cottage pie.

You need….
1 onion
4 sticks celery
1 plump parsnip
Carrots
Broccoli
Sprouts
(You can use any wintertime vegetable) the essential flavours I will not make it if I haven’t got parsnip or celery!
Red tub Bisto gravy powder
Mash potato
Cheese

What I do is ….
Fry an onion in olive oil
Add chopped celery, carrots, parsnip,sprouts, and cook until slightly soft.
Add boiled water and cook the vegetables for another 10 mins then add Bisto (in the red tub) yes I know but it tastes gorgeous in this dish 🙂
This will make a lovely thick gravy.

Spoon into a oven proof dish and then add loads of comforting mash.
Add lashings of cheese.

Cook in the oven covered with tin foil until golden on top.
In the last five minutes remove the tin foil to make the top golden and the cheese slightly crisp…..
Oh my!
