Seasonal local food recipe No.218 – Homity bake
This is a favourite winter warmer in our house and originates from the Cranks recipe book. It started out as a pie but as I’m lazy and don’t particularly like making pastry I missed it out and just baked the filling!
Serves 4
Preparation time: 30 mins
Cooking time: 25-30 mins
Ingredients
500g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
450g onions, thinly sliced
3 tbs olive oil
25g butter
15g parsley, chopped
125g cheese, grated
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 tbs milk
salt and pepper to taste
Method
Boil or steam the potatoes until tender. At the same time saute the onions in the oil until really soft. Combine the potatoes and onions, add the butter, parsley, half the cheese, garlic, milk and season well. Place the mixture in a greased ovenproof dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake at gas mark 6/200°C for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top. This is delicious served with baked beans.
