    1 Heat the oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/gas 5. Boil the parsnips for 5 min, then drain.

    2 Meanwhile, make the crumble topping: put the flour and low-fat spread in a bowl and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles chunky breadcrumbs. Stir in the hazelnuts and season with pepper.

    3 Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and set it over a low heat. Cook the shallots for 5 min. Add the parboiled parsnips and cook for 5–10 min. Stir in the wine, ginger, allspice, cheese and stock and cook for 2–3 min until slightly reduced. Add the chickpeas and season with pepper.

    4 Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the beetroot and parsley. Divide the mixture between 2 x 350ml ovenproof dishes and top with the crumble. Bake in the oven for 20–25 min until the topping is golden and the filling is piping hot.

      I didn’t have ricotta, parsnips or parsley, substituted haloumi, carrots and mixed herbs (partially dried type). I also had to substitute hazelnut flour for whole nuts. It was excellent! I’m sure the original ingredients will be too. Great idea, thanks HFG staff. 👌
