The sweetness signifies the hope for a sweet New Year and it is served as a side dish.

Ingredients

  • 8 carrots
  • 2 parsnips
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • wedge of butternut pumpkin
  • ¼ small cabbage
  • 2 potatoes
  • 1 kohlrabi
  • I onion
  • 2 tbsp flour (see Note)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • grind of black pepper
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ lemon, juice

Instructions

  1. Wash, clean and peel the vegetables and cut the carrots into rounds and the rest into bite-size chunky pieces. Place in a large saucepan and half cover with water.
  2. Place the flour, cinnamon, salt, pepper and a little water in a small bowl and stir to make a smooth paste. Stir the paste, maple syrup and lemon juice into the vegetables and bring to the boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Simmer for 1 hour or until all the veggies are really soft (keep topping up with water if they start roasting). There must be a little liquid left. Serve warm as a side dish.

Note

• I use a gluten-free flour like buckwheat just to make sure everyone can eat it.
