1. Wash and peel the carrots and parsnips. Lay out the baking paper and cover with the root veg.

3. Fold the baking paper and place in the oven at 180 degrees Centigrade.
4. Melt the butter in a pan, add in the sieved flour and cook gently to form a roux. Pour on the cold milk and slowly heat the mixture.

5. Wash, peel and cut the potatoes, kohlrabi and turnip into uniform 1cm cubes.
6. Add the bay leaf to the warmed milk and season well with nutmeg, salt and black pepper.



7. Add the potatoes to the roux, followed by the turnip and kohlrabi, and leave to simmer gently.
8. As soon as the potatoes have turned the milk wonderfully creamy and the vegetables are soft add in the peas and cook for a few minutes longer.
9. After approx. 35 minutes take the root veg out of the oven and remove the baking paper.
10. Finely dice the chives and add to the stew. Season to taste and serve.
