- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 cup pearl onions, peeled and halved (or chopped regular white onions)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into large cubes (roasted are great too)
- 3 carrots, chopped in to bite size pieces

- 2 cups brown mushrooms, quartered
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 3/4 tsp dry mustard

- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Pastry:
- 6-8 sheets phyllo pastry
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
in a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook onions, carrots, parsnips, potatoes and mushrooms, stirring often, for about 10 minutes or until softened and starting to turn golden. Add fresh herbs, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, for one minute.
Sprinkle flour and dried mustard over vegetable mixture; cook, stirring, for minute. Gradually whisk in stock and cream; bring to boil, stirring. Add other ingredients, like soy sauce etc. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, for 5 minutes or until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove bay leaf. Pour into 8-cup casserole dish.

The best ever!
It is SOOOOOOO good. Mmmmmmmmm. I’m a garlic monster though, so I added more cloves. The flavours were amazing!! I think fresh herbs add to the delicious factor. Perfect recipe, Nobbie!! xoxo
