It is raining again - I can't work, so Friday afternoon cooking session with red wine. All and everybody is invited. Vegetarians expected.
I am lightly frying garlic, onion and carrot in olive oil with a little madras seasoning and whole black peppercorns.
I will add slices of sweet potato, green peppers, cumin seeds, mushrooms and lots of green beans. Leave to simmer for 1 hour.
Boil potatoes for a butter rich mash topping (later).
Salt to taste. Add tomatoes plus a bit of puree. Diced apples and frozen peas. Basil and oregano.
Leave to sit for 10 minutes off the heat.
Pour into very big baking dish. Top with mash. Comb mash with back of fork and layer slices of cheese. Into a moderate oven for 20 minutes.
Serve with fresh bread.
Should be ready about 7pm my time if anyone wants to come.
