Bring a large saucepan of water with 1/2 tsp salt to the boil. Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).
When boiling, add the potatoes to the water and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander.
Meanwhile, trim the parsnip and carrot (no need to peel), then slice both into rounds about 1cm thick. Quarter the mushrooms.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a separate large saucepan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the carrot, parsnip and mushrooms. Add the Provencal herbs and season with salt and pepper.
Stir-fry until the veg is slightly tender and browned, 8-10 mins.
Meanwhile, boil a full kettle.
Grate the cheese. Halve the ciabatta.
Add the tomato puree and the garlic to the veg and cook until fragrant, 1 min.
Stir in the flour (see pantry for amount) and cook, stirring, for 3-4 mins.
Slowly stir the boiled water for the stock (see pantry for amount) from your kettle into the veg until incorporated, then stir in the red wine stock paste and sun-dried tomato paste.
Bring the stew up to the boil whilst stirring, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the veg is tender and the stew has thickened, 12-14 mins.
When the potatoes are cooked, stir them into the stew. Season with salt, pepper and sugar (see pantry for amount). Add a splash of water if needed.
While the stew simmers, preheat your grill to high.
Lay the ciabatta halves onto a baking tray, cut-side up. Spread over the remaining garlic and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Top with the grated Cheddar and season with pepper.
Grill the bread on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 4-6 mins.
Share the root vegetable stew between your bowls.
Serve the cheesy ciabatta alongside.
Enjoy!
