Parsnip Croquettes

Makes 8

3.5 g fibre/120 calories per croquette

900g (2lbs) parsnips, roughly chopped

50g (2oz) unsalted butter or soft vegetable margarine

100g (4oz) mature cheese, grated

100g (4oz) wholemeal breadcrumbs

50g (2oz) Scottish Porridge Oats

1 tsp mustard powder

Preheat the oven to 190ºC/ 375ºF/ Gas 5 and lightly oil a baking sheet.

Steam or boil the parsnips until soft, then drain well. Mash or liquidise the parsnips with the butter or margarine and most of the cheese. Stir in the breadcrumbs and leave until cool enough to handle. Shape into croquettes. Mix together the oats, the remainder of the cheese and the mustard and roll the croquettes in the mixture.

Place on the baking sheet and cook in the oven for 20 minutes, turning once, until golden.
