About the dish

Vegetable rings were an attractive way of presenting vegetables, and the centre could be filled with a stew.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Fill the mould

    Mix the boiled peas and the small diced boiled carrots and pack them into a well-greased ring mould. The mould must be full.

  2. 2

    Make the custard

    Whisk milk, eggs and salt together and pour over the vegetables.

  3. 3

    Bake in a water bath

    Place the ring in a water bath in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve with stirred asparagus butter, or put a stew in the centre.
