How To Cook

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/440F/Gas 6. Heat 10g of the butter in a large saucepan and gently fry the onions for 15 minutes covered, until softened and golden. Add 2 tbsp flour and cook for one minute. Stir in the veggie Worcestershire sauce and stock and bring to the boil stirring. Transfer to a casserole dish and bake for 20 minutes.

When I made this, it looked nothing like the picture above, however it still tasted delicious. I noticed the recipe calls for seasoning to be added to the cheese cobbler dough, but there’s nothing listed in the ingredients for this. I ended up using salt and pepper. I think it could’ve used additional flavoring though.

Hi! Yes, the ‘seasoning’ did refer to salt and pepper - sorry that wasn’t clear. We’ve added it to the ingredients list and also clarified it within the recipe text. Personally, I like to add up to 1 tsp mustard powder to my scone and cobbler recipes - maybe worth a try if you like a bit more kick!

Any tips on where to find veggie worcestershire sauce? Can only ever seem to find ones with anchovies in

Hi Vicky,

We’re big fans of Hendersons Relish here at Cook Vegetarian which you can buy online at http://www.hendersonsrelish.com/.

Otherwise, Biona Organic does a really tasty version too and I find it in health food shops all over the UK. You can also order it from www.goodnessdirect.co.uk. Keep your eyes peeled for money-off coupons in our magazine for Goodness Direct - they’re fantastic value!

Fae
