Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C
- 2
Peel, wash and chop the potatoes into 4, add to saucepan with boiling water and a pinch of salt. Boil for 25 minutes on a medium/high heat
- 3
Heat up pan until hot or as I like to use, my wok as it is great for quick cooking! Add the tablespoon of oil and break up the mince into the pan, cooking until the meat has browned
- 4
Add the onion, garlic, carrots and thyme and fry until softened
- 5
Add the tablespoon of flour (through a sieve) try not to get any big lumps in there! Stir on a low/medium heat covering the meat and veggies - (this will help thicken the stock when you add it)
- 6
Add tomato purée, salt and pepper to taste and then add the beef stock stirring as you add. Leave to simmer for 25 minutes to let the vegetables soften and the sauce thicken
- 7
Whilst your filling is simmering away strain your potatoes and mash them adding your butter and a good grind of pepper
- 8
Pour the mince filling into a baking dish and top with the mash. Fluff the top with a fork and I like to rub a little butter in with the fork so when it goes into the oven it makes it nice and crisp!
- 9
Cook for 10-15 minutes untill nice and golden brown and hot all the way through. Serve with some broccoli / asparagus 👍🏼

You can mix up the mash by adding parsnips, sweet potatoes or cauliflower. You can also use beef stock instead of red wine, I Iike that extra zinge so I prefer to use red wine instead to simmer the mince in.Some of the ingredients are approximate, I don't really use measures in this recipe as you can add a few things and it'll still taste great. You can add celery and peas to the meat as well.You can also reduce the heat and simmer it on low for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the meat has become really soft.

Short rib shepherd's pie Short rib shepherd's pie
This is my take on shepherd's pie. Instead of mince, I prefer to use beef short ribs. It complicates the cook, but the end result is so much more decadent. To make things easier, the beef and mash can be made separately ahead of time, and everything assembled once you're ready to put it in the oven.

Cottage Pie are just like Shephards Pie except ground /minced beef is used instead of ground / minced lamb. So I added a pie crust to be like a pie to be eaten with your fingers.

A Proper Cottage Pie A Proper Cottage Pie
Cottage pie is made from beef, whereas real, Shepherd's pie, is made using lamb. Some people can use gravy granules, to make the gravy part. I can't because it contains MSG which I am allergic to. Also if you would like to add a cup of English peas to the filling feel free to do so. Oh you don't neccesarily have to use cheese. -
