Directions

Peel and slice all the vegetables, the tougher ones about the thickness of a £1 coin, the leeks and artichokes somewhat thicker.

Bring the stock and the spices to the boil and in it cook the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, adding boiling water if necessary.

Meanwhile, stabilise the yoghurt by mixing the cornflour and water, stirring it into the yoghurt, bringing to the boil and simmering for 5-8 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Transfer the vegetables to a lightly oiled or buttered baking dish and reduce the stock to about 140ml, removing the spices and bay leaf first.

Stir in the yoghurt and cook for 2-3 minutes before pouring it over the vegetables. Mix the dry ingredients and scatter over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C/350F/gas 4 for about an hour.
