  • Sauté the leeks in a little oil for 5 minutes
  • Put the parsnip into a large bowl, use a hand blender or potato masher to puree them
  • Add the leeks, pepper and salt, mix well
  • Grate the potatoes (skin on) add to the parsnip and mix
  • Taste to check seasoning
  • Divide the mixture between the cups in the muffin tray
  • Press your thumb into each so that the mixture goes up the side and there is a deep indent in the middle
  • Bake for 30 minutes until golden and crispy around the edges
  • For the cauli cheese steam or boil the cauliflower till it is just soft
  • Put the beans in a bowl with the nutritional yeast, garlic, salt and water, blend with a hand blender
