Parsnip, Carrot and Cheese Cakes

By: Laurence Guy

This is such a simple idea that can be adapted to include all manner of root veg and greens. They are great served as a light lunch with some of our green tomato chutney which is now available to buy online.

  • Start by washing and dicing the carrots and parsnips before boiling in lightly salted water until tender.
  • Drain and season with salt, pepper and a few grates of fresh nutmeg before coarsely mashing.
  • Grate the cheese and mix well
  • Heat up a little oil and butter in a frying pan and place a serving plate in the oven to warm
  • Form the mashed veg into little patties before dusting with flour and frying on both sides until golden brown.
  • Place on the hot serving dish in the oven while you fry the rest of the cakes.

Ingredients

  • 400g carrots
  • 600g parsnips
  • nutmeg
  • 100g hard cheese like Chedder or Caerphilly
  • flour for dusting
