Prep:
You can prepare this in advance. Put into serving dish, cover with cling film and store in the refrigerator. Reheat until piping hot throughout – this mixture is dense and takes a good time to get hot (always check it by tasting from the centre of the mixture). If you use a microwave give it several sessions on high and allow time between sessions for the heat to spread through the mixture.
Cooks Know How: Boiling softens vegetables and helps us to eat larger portions of them. Carrots provide carotene, a type of vitamin A. Some vitamin C contained in fresh carrot is lost during cooking and therefore it is wise to save the cooking water to use in gravy. Vegetables like carrots add vibrant colour to a meal.
