Autumn is the best season for root vegetables like swedes, parsnips and turnips which are perfect for stews. This recipe brings these vegetables together in a rich cider based stew with mustard almond milk. This is a great mid-week meal especially on nights that are cold or rainy. The stew is served with a side of crispy roasted kipfler potatoes.
