Parrot Pie

Parrot as in parsnip and carrot - my carnivorous son was disappointed to discover it didn't contain any exotic birds. I got the recipe from the veg box recipes website. It is basically mashed carrots and parsnips in a cheese sauce in a pie. I'd normally make my own pastry but my in-laws have gone to France for a couple of months and we inherited the contents of their freezer including some frozen shortcrust pastry so I used that.

The pie was good, quite sweet as you'd expect. It went well with onion gravy made with the water the carrots and parsnip were boiled in and mashed potatoes.  I have to confess though it is not the most photogenic dish I've made!
