Cooking steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Trim the parsnip then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces. Chop the sweet potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Roughly chop the mushrooms.
- Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pick the thyme leaves (discard the stalks).
2
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the mushrooms and leek.
- Fry until browned, 5-7 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the parsnip, sweet potato, garlic and thyme.
- Cook, stirring, 2-3 mins.
3
- Stir in the stock, passata, 350ml water and ½ tsp sugar (double both for 4p).
- Cover the pot and simmer until the sweet potato and parsnip are fork tender, 15-20 mins.
4
- Meanwhile, halve the baguettes lengthways. Cut each half into four equal triangles.
- Pop onto a lined baking tray and toast until golden brown, 2-3 mins.
- Once golden, remove the crostini from the oven and scatter over the cheese.
- Return to the oven until the cheese has melted, 1-2 mins.
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
5
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tsp flour and 2 tsp water (double both for 4p).
- Once the stew has simmered, stir the flour mixture into the stew.
- Cook until the stew is slightly thickened, another 3-5 mins.
- Season to taste with sugar, salt and pepper.
TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the stew has become too thick.
6
- Divide hearty helpings of your stew between bowls.
- Serve with the cheesy crostini on the side.
- Garnish with a sprinkling of parsley.
