175ml non-dairy milk
1./2 onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves
12g plain flour
70ml dry cider
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard (if you’ve got cider mustard - all the better!)
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2g fresh dill, plus some for decoration 1/2 onion, finely chopped
Notes - Have the vegetables prepared before you start cooking any of the vegetables
Method
Preheat oven to 200C/350F/ gas mark 6.
Boil the potatoes in the bottom section of a steamer saucepan for 6 minutes.
Add a steamer section to the base pan and add the carrots. Steam for 3 minutes.
Add the broccoli and broad beans to the top steamer section. Steam for another 1 minute.
Finally add the baby sweetcorn and mange tout to the top steamer section. Steam for 4 more minutes. Then set the vegetables in the top section to one side.
Mash the potato with 15g of non-dairy spread, 3 tablespoons (45ml) of the milk and season well.
In a separate pan melt 38g of non-dairy spread and gentle cook the onion until starting to soften.
Add the crushed garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the flour to make a roux. Whisk the remaining milk (130ml) and bring to the boil. Continue to whisk until smooth and thick.
Whisk in the cider, wholegrain mustard, 2 grams of the dill, paprika and cayenne and season well.
Combine the vegetables with the roux, and carefully stir together.
Spoon the vegetables into an oven dish (or 2 individual smaller pie dishes) and top with the mashed potato. Top with a sprinkling of dill.
Cook in the oven for 30 - 35 minutes until the top is starting to lightly brown.
