A Karen Martini recipe from her cookbook “cooking at home’. She suggests that 1 bunch carrots can be substituted by 1 turnip and 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into quarters. A nice vege side for any roast. You could use larger carrots and cut them into halves or quarters instead of baby carrots if wished….though the baby carrots give a lovely presentation
This is based on a recipe from Beatrice Ojakangas’, Great Holiday Baking Book. She explains, “Australians still participate in the tradition of four o’clock afternoon tea, which can be a simple or formal occasion, and features a selection of sandwiches, scones, cookies, and cakes that are fancy and plain. This is the time to rest and ‘restoke the furnace.’ These thin, crisp oat and coconut drop cookies are a welcome part of the simplest or most elaborate tea.” I haven’t yet tried this.

I love making this. It’s such a nice winter meal, and it’s so easy and quick, and best of all..so economical!! Growing up, Mum made shepherds pie almost weekly. Over the years I have altered it, and this is the way my family enjoys it now. We don’t serve this with anything, except maybe a nice bread roll.
This is my all time favourite carrot dish, that we only seem to have at Christmas ….. that is so wrong, so I had to get the recipe so I can have it whenever I like. I could quite easily and happily eat the whole lot by myself!
