Lovely served with the vine tomatoes recipe above and a steak.
Ingredients
- 450g Potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
- 125g Carrots, coarsely grated
- 125g Parsnips, coarsely grated
- 1 onion, coarsely grated
- 1 tsp caraway seeds
- 2 Medium Free Range Eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp butter, melted, plus extra to grease
- ¼ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Method
Preheat the oven to 180ºC, gas mark 4. Put the grated potato, carrot, parsnip and onion into a clean, dry tea towel and squeeze out as much liquid out as possible, then tip into a large bowl. Mix in the caraway seeds and eggs, then season generously.
Grease a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin with butter and tip the grated mixture in. Gently press to level it out, then bake for 40 minutes.
Remove from the oven and pour over the melted butter. Put it back in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden. Carefully remove from the tin, sprinkle over the parsley and serve cut into wedges.
