Serves 6

Ingredients

2 onions
2 carrots
2 sticks celery
1 small turnip
1 small swede
8oz mushrooms
¼ cauliflower
1 tin chopped tomato and juice
2 tsp. chopped fresh or 1 tsp. dried rosemary

Method

1. Chop up everything into large chunks
2. Fry the onions in a saucepan with 2 tbsp. of oil for 5 minutes
3. Add the rest of veg, cover; cook for 15 minutes (add little water if drying up to prevent browning).
4. Finally add tomatoes and cook until veg. is to your liking, soft or crunchy.
5. You could put a cheese and breadcrumb topping to this and finish off in moderate oven for 15 minutes, or just use the veg as a delicious accompaniment to your course. It is also a nice mix to add to a stew to make it go further or even to turn into a winter soup using one of the many choices of stock cubes. But above all it is wholesome, cheap and seasonal!
