Cauliflower & bean potato pie

Ingredients

2 onions, chopped

25g butter

large tin of white beans, drained & rinsed

1kg (approx) potatoes, peeled & cubed

1kg (approx) cauliflower, cut into large pieces

4-5 tsps mustard

100g cheese, grated

1 egg

50ml milk

salt & pepper

herbs of your choice (optional)

Directions

1. In a large saucepan gently melt the butter and then add the onions. Fry until soft but not coloured.
2. Pre-heat oven to gas 4/180C
3. Add the potatoes & cauliflower & cover with water. Season, bring to the boil & simmer until the potatoes are soft. Drain & mash.
4. In a large baking dish mix together the mashed veg, beans, mustard, egg, milk and approx 3/4 of the cheese. Season/add herbs to taste.
5. Run a fork over the top of the dish and then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
6. Bake until the top is golden brown (approx 30 mins in my oven).

Suggested variations:

• Serve with sausages and a rich gravy.
