  • 20 grams almond meal
  • 50 grams Cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1/2 egg, beaten with a fork
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For cheesy vegetable layer
  • 200 grams turnips, diced
  • 200 grams sweet potatoes, diced
  • 200 grams onions, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 70 grams Cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 egg, beaten with a fork
  • 2 tablespoons corn flour
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    For bean layer: Place the first 7 ingredients in a food processor and puree until fairly smooth. Add the egg, salt and pepper to taste. Put the mixture in a bowl, cover and set aside.
  2. 2
    For cheesy vegetable layer: Cook the sweet potatoes and turnips in a boiling salted water for 20-25 minutes until tender. Don't worry if the turnips are tough a little - it is OK.
  3. 3
    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, stirring for a few minutes. Add salt and pepper, turn the heat down to medium. Place a lid on the pan, leaving it slightly ajar, and cook for 10 minutes.
  4. 4
    Remove the lid, turn the heat up to medium-high and cook for 10 minutes more until silky and pale gold in color, stir occasionally. Turn off the heat and move the saucepan to the countertop.
  5. 5
    Drain the potatoes and turnips. Mash, add grated cheese, stir it up until cheese is almost melted. Add onion and celery mixture. Place in a medium bowl and let it cool slightly.
  6. 6
    Add the egg, corn flour, Worcestershire sauce. Season to taste.
  7. 7
    Transfer half of cheesy vegetable mixture to a small ovenproof dish (I use 15x20cm (6x8 inch) dish). Place bean mixture on top. If it is dense a little, make small thin patties and cover the vegetable mixture. Top with remaining cheesy vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with 30g grated Cheddar cheese.
  8. 8
    Bake for 25 minutes in a preheated oven at 180C (350 F). Place under a hot grill for 3-5 minutes until the topping is a golden brown colour.
