Serving suggestions

Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes

Variations

Use any vegetables that are in season, including at least one root and one leafy vegetable.

You can sprinkle a mixture of breadcrumbs, butter and finely grated cheese on the top and grill until brown.

Another alternative is to make it as a stew with herb dumplings.

Chef's notes

The rapeseed oil I use is R-Oil, which is produced in Lower Swell in the Cotswolds and the dry cider was from Hayles Fruit Farm, near Winchcombe.
