In a large casserole, fry the diced onion, carrot and celery in a little oil for 10 minutes, until starting to soften. Set the oven to 160C/325F/gas mark 3. Meanwhile, in a large pan, fry the mutton (and heart, if using) over a high heat until nicely browned. This is best done separately as it is hard to get a good colour on the meat when it is competing for heat and space with the onions. Transfer the hot oil to a large saucepan on a medium heat, add the leek, onion, ginger and three teaspoons of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, for five minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the smoked paprika and ground coriander, cook for a minute, until fragrant, then add the cooked pumpkin and sweet potato flesh, and 1.6 litres of water.

Melt the butter in a small pan. Add the swede and ground anise. Keep turning and beating the swede with a wooden spoon or spatula until it is warmed through. Remove from the heat. Beat in the creme fraiche. Season with a little salt and white pepper to taste. Swede is strictly an autumn-winter veg; the season begins in late Sept and ebbs in late Feb/early March. The supermarkets seem to feel the need to bridge the summer gap with imports but I, for one, can’t fathom why. The comforting sweet, earthy and slightly bitter taste gives itself to the afternoon gloaming and chill nights between October and February. I’d say that, for the most part, it’s pointless to deny swede’s magnetism to dairy in one form or another; it really does bring out the flavour. You can roast it in generous chunks, bake it in rich buttery gratins or use it to fortify stews and casseroles, but the guise in which we know it best is simply mashed as part of a roast dinner. Cheap, countrywide and abundantly in season – fill your basket, whip up a simple batch of mash and give a swede a home this autumn.
