2 onions, finely chopped

1 turnip (small, chopped into 2.5cm cubes)
2 parsnips (chopped into 2.5cm cubes)
100g peas
4 potatoes (medium, thinly sliced)
550ml chicken stock
2 tsp cornflour
100g cheddar cheese, grated
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas mark 4.
Fry the chicken (if necessary) and vegetables off in a large pan with a drop of olive oil.
Leave out the potatoes during this step.
Mix 2 teaspoons of cornflour in a little cold water and add this to the chicken stock.
Add the chicken stock mixture to the pan and bring to the boil.
Transfer to a casserole dish and cover with the sliced potatoes.
Cook in the oven for approximately 1 hour, or until potatoes are soft and golden.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle over the cheese and some black pepper over the potatoes then return to the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese has melted.
