Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190 °/Gas 5.
2. Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a good splash of oil. If you’re using it, add bacon now. Add the onion or leek. Fry till the bacon starts to crisp and the onions are soft.
3. Stir in the garlic. Add the sliced root veggies (swede, celeriac and other big roots need to be peeled and cut into more manageable pieces before slicing). Season well.
4. Add cloves, if using. Gently fry for a few mins, just to soften them.
5. Stir in the cream and stock/water. Simmer for 10-15 mins, till the veg softens.
6. Taste. Adjust seasoning, as needed. If you’re using thyme not cloves, add it now. Tumble everything from the pan into a baking dish.
7. Mix topping ingredients (A handful of oats; 1 mug of breadcrumbs; handful of nuts (chestnuts, if you have some), chopped; nugget of butter; handful of grated cheese (optional) together.
8. Scatter over and bake till the top is crisp and golden, about 30 mins.

Use this recipe a lot and it's always yummy - great no matter what combination of veg you use. No way does it serve up to 8 though unless you're serving small potions as a side veg.
