Veg mash
I wish I could think of a better quick description than "veg mash". Based on Felicity Cloake's collection of readers' thrifty recipes in the Guardian, where the original is called "cauliflower cheese and potato pie." Not very apt for that version, even less so for this one. Name aside, it's a nice side-dish with sausages, or as leftovers for lunch. Definitely winter comfort food!
1 large onion
3 large potatoes
300g cauliflower
300g broccoli
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp butter
Pinch salt
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
Parmesan to sprinkle on top
Peel, dice and saute the onion in a large shallow oven-proof pan until just starting to colour.
While the onion is cooking, peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks. Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into similar sized pieces. Add to the onion with the bay leaf, and cover with boiling water. Cook on medium high heat for 20 mins, or until all the vegetables are tender.
Drain the vegetables and remove the bay leaf. Return to the saucepan and mash with the butter, mustard and salt.
Beat the egg and milk together, then stir into the mash. Level the top, and roughen with a fork.
Sprinkle with cheese, and pop under the grill for a few minutes to brown.
