Gardeners pie

cha97michelle

I am having a bit of a senior moment.

I remember i used to make a veggie dish called gardeners pie after seeing Brian Turner make it on this morning about 3/4 years ago.

I seem to also remember it had carrots, parsnips and i think it was sweet potato in.

I tried a forum search and discovered old posts of mine saying i was making it but not the recipe.

I wondered if anyone could help me out, as i know there are some wonderful OS people who actually are organised and write things down rather than rely on memory.

Thanks for any input.

Can you remember what sort of pie it is? That probably sounds like a really daft question, but I make something I call 'gardeners pie' that's vegetables in cheese sauce topped with sliced potatoes. It's from an old Good Food magazine recipe: I can dig out the recipe for that, but I have no idea if it's the same sort of thing you're after?

I don't think it was a cheese sauce. Maybe it was in tomatoes, but i really am struggling.The veg was all cooked first, and then put in a pie, with the sweet potato mash on top, and then possibly some grated cheese.

I'm sure it is really simple, but i just can't remember. Maybe it was just carrots and parsnip in a tin of toms with sweet potato mash? Who knows. In fact, i might just try that anyway.

Could you post that recipe anyway please as i am always pleased to get a new one and that sounds good too. I'm trying to get a few veggie meals into the meal plan without my DH moaning about the lack of meat, and the original recipe was popular when i made it.

No problem at all - it's here. I'm not a great veg eater but I'm very fond of this pie: I've made it with all sorts of veggies, not just the ones listed in the recipe.

I hope you manage to track down your original recipe, too.

Is this the recipe you are looking for?

I made this last month and it was yummy.
BTW, across the pond, grilling is called `broiling`

That is not the one, but it also looks like a good recipe to try. I have tried googling it, searching here, looking for Brian Turner recipes, and looking at the This Morning site, but looks like i might be out of luck.

Never mind. Thanks for trying to help me, and i have a couple of things i can try instead. I can always get the family to try it once.

That one looks good too. Thanks for showing it me.

Lots of things to try, i just wish i had written the original one down. I remember it being quite cheap and very filling. Just what is called for now.

Hi cha97michelle,
