Ingredients

8 total
  • 600g celeriac, cut into 2-3cm dice
  • 600g swede, cut into 1-2cm dice
  • 45g salted butter, plus 1 tsp
  • 1 nutmeg, for grating
  • ½ medium onion, diced
  • 200g curly kale, roughly chopped
  • 100g mature cheddar, grated
  • 1 mixed leaf salad (optional)

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Cook the celeriac and swede in a large pan of boiling, salted water for 15-20 mins, until tender. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7.

  2. Step 2

    Drain the veg, then roughly mash with 45g butter for a chunky texture. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and nutmeg, to taste.

  3. Step 3

    Melt the remaining 1 tsp butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the onion for 4-5 mins until softened, then add the kale and cook for 5 mins more, adding a splash of water to generate steam. Stir through the mashed roots until combined.

  4. Step 4

    Decant the mixture into a deep 26 cm ovenproof dish and scatter over the cheese. Bake for 15-20 mins, until bubbling and golden. Serve with a dressed leafy salad, if liked.
