Food and Drink! Root vegetable rosti
This week's yummy recipe is extracted from Eat More Veg by Annie Rigg!
This rosti is delicious topped with a fried egg (if not cooking a vegan version) and some sautéed garlicky rainbow chard. You can try swapping the celeriac or parsnips for beetroot, if you like, but keep the potato ratio as the potatoes provide much-needed starch that helps the mixture hold together.
Ingredients
- 150g red-skinned potatoes, such as Désirée
- 100g parsnip (roughly one parsnip)
- 100g celeriac (roughly ¼ celeriac)
- 100g carrot (roughly one medium carrot)
- 1 small onion
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- Salt and freshly-ground black pepper
TIP: Small rosti are great for children and small plates, but if you prefer you can make six larger rosti – just remember you may need to increase the cooking time slightly. You could also make one large rosti if you are feeling brave and have a suitably sized non-stick pan. Once you’ve browned the rosti on both sides slide the (oven-proof) pan into a moderate oven for 10–15 minutes to ensure that the veggies are cooked through. If your pan isn’t oven-proof, carefully turn the rosti out onto a baking tray first.
- Coarsely grate the potatoes, parsnip, celeriac and carrot onto a clean tea towel.
- Finely slice the onion, add to the veg and gather the tea towel into a pouch encasing the vegetables. Squeeze the tea towel around the veg and over the sink to squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Tip the vegetables into a mixing bowl and add the crushed garlic, parsley and plain flour. Season well and, using clean hands, mix well to combine thoroughly.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
