Vegetable Bake:

1 red onion (only because it needed using)

3 cloves garlic (optional)

Handful cherry tomatoes

1/2 small butternut squash

About 2-3 oz mushrooms

1 potato (again, a soft one that needed using)

150 ml vegetable stock

1 tablespoonful cooking oil (I used walnuts)

3 slices bread

About 100 grammes cheese

1 tablespoonful mixed nuts (was going to be walnuts, but they'd gone off)

Chop onion (and garlic) and microwave on full power for 4 minutes (or

saute in the oil for about 15-20 minutes, but life's too short). While this

is happening, peel and dice the butternut squash, dice the potato (no

need to peel), wipe the mushrooms, and pierce the cherry tomatoes. Put

everything in the pan with the oil and allow to cook for a few minutes.

Add stock and bring to the boil. Turn off heat. Sprinkle with about 40

grammes of the cheese, grated.

In a food processor blend the bread, remainder of the cheese and the nuts

to make a crumble top. Put on top of the vegetable mix and bake in a

moderate oven for 30-45 minutes.

(The original recipe was onions and courgettes and potatoes, and I forget

what else, so you can vary it infinitely. It was GORGEOUS!).
