I used to make this while I was a student, it’s comforting, cheap and simple but delicious! Great to use up left over chicken the next day after making a roast. This is for 4 people.

Steps

1

For the topping boil the potatoes in salted water until soft. Drain then mash. Stir in the butter, cream and egg yolks. Season with salt and pepper then put aside. This will be spread on top at the end.
2

Put some oil or butter in a pan and fry the onion, carrots, celery, pepper, courgette until soft then add the garlic. Cook for about 1 minute.
3

Stir in the tomato purée, chopped tomatoes, wine and stock and cook for 15 minutes until its thickened.
4

Add the left over chicken (I shredded mine) then season to taste with the salt and pepper. You could also add olives and parsley if you wish. Pre heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas mark 4.
5

Pour filling into an oven proof dish and cover with the mashed potato. Grate some cheese on top (as little or as much as you like) bake in the oven for around 35 minutes until it’s piping hot and the cheese/potato is golden in colour.
6

Enjoy with some broccoli on the side and a glass of white wine!
