We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Step 2: Heat oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over medium heat. Add garlic and onions; cook 5 minutes, until softened. Add celery, carrots (or parsnips), rutabaga and cauliflower and cook another 2-3 minutes.

  • Step 3: Add mushrooms, tomatoes and lentils.

  • Step 4: Mix together the cornstarch and water and stir into the casserole with the broth, Tabasco and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 5: Cover the casserole and transfer to preheated oven. Bake 20 minutes.

  • To make the topping

  • Step 6: Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. With fingers or a pastry knife, rub in the butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in most of the cheese and the oregano.

  • Step 7: Beat the egg with the milk and add enough to the dry mixture to form a soft dough. (reserve a little to brush on topping later) Knead lightly, and roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch circles.

  • Step 8: Remove dish from oven and increase temperature to 400°F.

  • Step 9: Arrange the dough circles over top of the dish. Brush with remaining egg mixture and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

  • Step 10: Return to oven and bake 10-12 minutes, or until topping is golden brown.

  • Step 11: Serve.
