• Peel and dice the swede and simmer with the chilli for half an hour until tender.
  500 g swede, 1 chilli
• Drain and reserve the water for future use
• I used a food processor to mash it, but you could use a fork if you don’t have one
• Now add half the breadcrumbs, double cream, maple syrup (or any other sweetener) fresh ginger, nutmeg, salt, black pepper and crushed garlic
  20 g breadcrumbs, 100 ml double cream, 1 tblsp any sugar, maple syrup etc, ½ tblsp ginger, 2 cloves garlic
• Pile the swede mix in the middle of a baking dish and level off.
• Sprinkle over the remaining half of the breadcrumbs
  20 g breadcrumbs
• Bake in a moderate oven until brown and crisp. Or if the oven isn’t on for anything else, crisp it up under the grill

If using potatoes - do this before piling the swede mixture into the baking dish

• Peel and slice potatoes, slice into medallions. If the skins are in good condition you could leave the skin on.
  500 g potatoes
• Place in a covered dish and microwave for 2 minutes until soft.
• Generously oil a baking dish and place the potato slices on the bottom and round the edges
