1 tsp dry sage

WOOLTON PIE

Ingredients

1 lb potato, diced
1 lb swede, diced
1 lb cauliflower, diced
1 lb carrot, diced
3 or 4 spring onions (if possible)
1 tsp vegetable extract
1 tbsp oatmeal
Chopped parsley
Pastry (for the crust)

Method

Mix together the vegetables, vegetable extract and oatmeal and cook together for around 10 minutes in just enough water to cover. Stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking.

Allow to cool and place into a pie dish. Sprinkle with the parsley before covering with a pastry crust. Bake in a moderate oven until the pastry is nicely browned and serve with hot gravy. This pie should serve 4 to 5 people.
