A healthier gluten free shepherds pie - perfect for a family gathering, a freezer meal or comfort food on a cold winters evening.
Ingredients
2 tbs olive oil (to be used in half portions)
1 medium onion, chopped finely
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 large carrots, finely diced
¼ cup mushrooms, sliced thinly
½ cup frozen peas
500ml beef stock
500gm minced lamb or beef (I used lamb)
2 tbs tomato puree (aka passata)
1 tbs GF worcestershire sauce
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
2 medium russet (or any white) potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbs butter
1tbs milk
½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C if fan forced).
Heat a large pan (preferably one with a lid as you will need the lid later, electric frying pans are easy to use for this reason) with 1 tbs oil and sauté onion, garlic, mushrooms, carrots and peas for 5 minutes or until they soften. Set aside in a bowl.
Using the same pan, 1 tbs of oil and brown the mince.
Add stock, tomato puree & worcestershire sauce, then bring to a simmer, covered for 15 minutes, then add seasoning to taste, stir and continue to simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil potatoes for 15-20 minutes until soft. Place the cooked potatoes in a large bowl and mash with ⅔ tbs butter, milk, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp cinnamon until smooth. Cover with foil to retain heat and set aside.
Place the meat mixture in a baking dish, cover with the mashed potato and even out with the back of a spoon or fork (using a fork will likely give better texture than what appears on the top of mine).
Brush potato top with ⅓ tbs melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes until top is starting to brown and crisp.
