A big pie for a winter's day from A Cook’s Book: The Essential Nigel Slater (page 322) by Nigel Slater

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute yellow or green lentils for brown lentils; chard for spinach; and potatoes, swedes, or sweet potatoes for parsnips.

    Definitely add more salt than he calls for - i added some with the tomatoes then tasted and added more when the stock went in. Turned out delicious, took some time though!

    Used a combination of parsnips and white potato for the topping. A pleasant meal that lacked a bit of flavour oomph in my opinion. Definitely need to season well! Served 10 for us.
