(Adapted from Vegetarian Society UK recipe) Autumn Casserole with Chestnuts Chestnuts work well with root vegetables and also make this casserole more of a meal. I like to purée some of the cooked mixture to make the background texture more substantial. As with most dishes of this kind, they are best made the day before and reheated. Serve this with green vegetables and baked potatoes for a complete meal. Ingredients 1tbsp sunflower oil 12oz / 350g leeks, trimmed and diced 3 sticks of celery, chopped 12oz / 350g parsnips, trimmed and diced 12oz / 350g carrots' peeled and diced 2oz / 50g chestnuts 2 pints / 1.2L stock (GF) 1 bay leaf 3tbsp chopped fresh parsley 3tsp chopped fresh thyme 1tbsp GF soy sauce salt and pepper extra chopped parsley for garnish Method 1. Heat the oil and gently fry the leeks and celery until fairly soft. Add the root vegetables and chestnuts and cook for a few minutes, stirring well. 2. Pour over the stock and mix in the herbs. Add the GF soy sauce. Bring the casserole to the boil, simmer for 1½ hours or until all the vegetables and chestnuts are quite soft. 3. Remove approximately a cup full of vegetables and liquid. Purée this until smooth, then stir back into the casserole. Season to taste. Then serve garnished with the extra chopped parsley. *********************** Read more: coeliac.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=veggies&action=display&thread=115#ixzz1CA4VetTF
