Directions
Makes 10 generous servings.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil a 9x13 casserole dish.


Warm the oil in a soup pot. Add the onions and garlic, cover, and cook on medium heat for 10-12 min.,
stirring occasionally. Add salt, thyme, marjoram, mushrooms, and mustard. Cook until the mushrooms
start to release their juices, about 5 min

Add the potatoes & root veggies, black pepper, and water or stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat,
cover, and simmer for 15-20 min. until the vegetables are just tender. Stir the dissolved cornstarch
mixture into the vegetables, stirring constantly. When the liquid starts to thicken, mix in the peas, corn,
soy sauce, and salt. Pour the vegetables into the prepared casserole dish.

Make the biscuit topping while the vegetables cook. In a mixing bowl, sift or whisk together dry
ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together melted butter and buttermilk or yogurt. Combine wet and
dry ingredients with as few strokes as possible to make a soft dough. Drop the biscuit batter over the
vegetables in the casserole in 6 equal mounds. Sprinkle the dill over the biscuits.


Bake for 25-30 min. until biscuits are golden brown.
