Shepherds Pie

Ingredients

Steps

Preheat the oven to 200c

Soften the chopped carrots, onion and celery with a little oil over a medium heat

After 5-10 minutes add the mince and brown for a further 5 minutes

Add about 3tbsp of Worcestershire sauce (if you don�t have any try 2tsp soy sauce and 1tsp light brown sugar), 2tsp of tomato pur�e and 150-200ml of lamb or beef stock (if using chopped tomatoes you won�t need lots of stock)

Allow the mince mixture to reduce simmering for about 20 minutes

Meanwhile bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the peeled potatoes (about 1kg will do, but if you have less just make a thinner topping)

After about 20 minutes drain the potatoes and mash until smooth, then stir in 4tbsp of milk, a knob or 2 of butter and season

Now season the mince mixture and add to an oven proof dish, spoon over the mashed potatoes and spread out to cover the top (roughing up the top with a fork) and place in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden on top
