| Look no further than this umami-rich, plant-packed vegetable ragu full of diverse fibre and other nutrients to nourish you and your gut. Inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi's ultimate tray-bake ragu, this recipe contains even more plants. Hodmedod’s Broth Mix is the perfect base, containing no fewer than 7 different pulses and grains, and adding beautiful texture and flavour. The recipe packs in 12 different plants, not counting the herbs and spices, which add a half dozen more. Serve with a side salad and you'll be eating well over 20 plants in a single meal. |
Tip: if you have any tough stalks of broccoli, cavolo nero, cauliflower or similar, chop these finely and sauté with the onion and carrots in step 4. They’ll add lots of flavour, reduce your food waste and contribute even more plant points.
Serves 6-8 generously.

These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.
