Parsnips,
sweet potato and celeriac weighing approx 1 kg. (2 lbs) in all

175g (6 ozs) grated cheese

Peel the sweet potato and celeriac, scrub the parsnip and cut all
into small chunks before boiling in water to cover until softened.
Meanwhile,
using a large frying or saute pan, cook the prepared onion in a
tablespoon hot oil and when softened add the butter.
Strain
the liquid from the cooked vegetables and mash them together before
adding to the cooked onion.
Add
100g (4ozs) of the grated cheese and cream, season with pepper and
the curry powder and mix together.
Turn
on to a lightly oiled baking tray and shape like a cake approx.
25cm (10") in diameter and stick the bacon rashers round the
sides.
Mix
the remaining cheese with the oats and scatter on top.
Bake
in the pre-set oven for 20-30mins. or until hot and bubbly.

Cook tips - if preferred, the bacon, cut into small pieces,
can be cooked with the onion and the prepared bake can be put into
a pie dish to cook with the cheese and breadcrumb mixture on top.
A selection of cheeses can be used, I recommend Cheddar, Stilton
and Double Gloucester for good flavour and colour.
Serving
suggestions - serve straight from the oven with fresh bread, rice
or couscous. A delicious savoury meal and very filling.
