Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Put the butter, leeks and squash in a large pan over a low-medium heat. Cover and gently sweat the veg for 18-20 mins until softened and cooked through but not coloured. Stir occasionally to prevent them catching.
- Stir in the flour and mix until it has been absorbed. Add the stock, milk and mustard, then simmer gently for 5 mins. Transfer to a 2ltr ovenproof dish. Set aside to cool for 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, make the crumble topping. In a bowl, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the parsley, mustard powder and cheese. Mix thoroughly, creating small clusters of crumble mix. Use your hands to clump the mixture together a little. Sprinkle the crumble on top of the vegetable mixture, then press down gently with your hands. Bake for 30 mins until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.
