Tomato & Gruyere Casserole Recipe

Casseroles are hearty winter meals that warm you up when it's cold outside. Practically every country has their own type of casserole, be it an African tajine or a French ragout. I personally love our British shepherd's pie with a bit of brown sauce to enhance the flavour. The most common thing about casseroles though, is that they usually contain meat, which means vegetarians miss out. This recipe, however, is completely vegetarian friendly, and a delight to eat.

Did You Know?

The name casserole comes from the French for the type of deep dish that the food is baked in. The term first appeared in English in 1708, and at that time casseroles used to be a rice dish; the rice was pounded up, pressed together to form a kind of pastry; it was then filled with meat or fish and vegetables. It wasn't until the 1870s that the more modern form of casseroles began to take shape.
