Ingredients
- FOR THE MASHED POTATOES:
- 2 pounds Potatoes
- 3-½ ounces, weight Butter
- 1 cup Milk
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- FOR THE MEAT MIXTURE:
- Sunflower Oil, As Needed
- 1 Large Onion, Diced
- 3 Carrots, Diced
- 1 pound Lamb Or Beef Mince
- 17 ounces, fluid Beef Stock
- 4 Tablespoons Tomato Puree
- ½ pounds Peas
- 5 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
Preparation
For the mashed potatoes, boil potatoes in a salted water, about 15 minutes. Drain. Add butter and milk over low heat until butter is melted. Use a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan, heat up a few tablespoons of oil. Sauté onion and carrots for 5 minutes before adding minced meat. Break up the meat and cook for about 5 minutes. Add beef stock, tomato puree, peas and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low-medium and simmer for 35 minutes. Taste and add more seasoning, if needed. Turn heat off.
Transfer meat mix in an oven-proof dish (or individual ramekin dishes, if using) and top with mashed potatoes. Spread evenly. You can also use a piping bag to pipe the mash over the meat to make it look fancier.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes or until the mash turns golden brown.
