Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180�C.

Cook the swede and carrots and mash. Saute the chopped onion in 1 tablespoon of butter until golden. Melt the rest of the butter. Add the onion, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, cream, beaten egg and melted butter to the swede and carrot mix. Stir well, Add a little water if necessary. Spoon into a greased baking dish. For the topping, sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top and dot with the butter. Bake for about 1 hour until lightly browned.

Notes

This can be made just with swede, or a mixture of swede, carrots and parsnip.

If you do not have treacle, use golden syrup instead.

For a dairy free version, replace butter and cream with olive oil or margarine.
