Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Boil a kettle
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small bite-sized pieces
Add the chopped potatoes to a pot of boiled water with a generous pinch of salt, bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 10 min or until fork-tender
Once done, drain and return to the pot to steam dry
Meanwhile, re-boil a kettle
Peel and finely chop the red onion[s]
Top, tail, peel and dice the carrot[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the chopped onion, carrot and garlic and cook for 3-4 min or until beginning to soften
Meanwhile, dissolve the beef stock cube[s] in 200ml [400ml] boiled water (for a lower salt option, use half!) and add the tomato paste and Henderson's Relish – this is your tomato stock
Once your vegetables have softened, add the beef mince and cook for 3-4 min or until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go
Add the tomato stock to the beef mince and bring to the boil
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 8-10 min or until the liquid has reduced by half – this is your beef mixture
Meanwhile, grate the cheddar cheese
Return the drained potatoes to a low heat with a large knob of butter, a splash of milk and a generous pinch of salt and pepper
Mash until smooth – this is your creamy mashed potato
Once the beef mixture has thickened, transfer it to an oven-proof dish (or individual ones)
Top the beef mixture with the creamy mashed potato
Sprinkle over the grated cheese
Put the dish in the oven for 15-20 min or until golden brown and bubbling – this is your cottage pie
Meanwhile, re-boil a kettle
Cut the broccoli into florets
Add the broccoli florets to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, cook for 4-6 min or until tender with a slight bite
Once done, drain the broccoli and season generously with salt and pepper
Serve the cottage pie with the broccoli to the side
Enjoy!
