Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Place in a pot, cover with water and season with salt.
- Bring to the boil and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander (reserving a little cooking water) and return to the pot, off the heat.
- Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or cooking water. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
2
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the carrot and quarter lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into ½ cm pieces.
3
- Place a pan over medium-high heat (no oil).
- Fry the mince and onion until browned, stirring occasionally, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Break the beef up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add carrot, passata, garlic, muscat and half a sachet of Italian herbs (per 2P). Fry until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add the red wine jus. Simmer until thickened, 5-8 mins.
4
- Once the mince is ready, taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if you feel it's too dry.
- Transfer the mince to an appropriately-sized oven dish.
- Top with a layer of mashed potato. Use the back of a spoon to evenly spread it out.
- Take 2 tbsp butter (per 2P), cut into small pieces and distribute over the top of the mash.
- Pop the dish in the oven and allow the butter to melt, 5-6 mins.
5
- Boil a small pot of water for the peas.
- Once boiling, add the peas.
- Cook until softened, 1-2 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat. Season with salt and pepper.
TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
6
- When everything's ready, carefully remove the cottage pie from the oven.
- Share the piping hot pie between plates.
- Serve the peas alongside.
