Ingredients

  • One Cauliflower head - roughly chopped

  • 500g 5% fat minced beef

  • Two medium carrots - finely diced

  • One medium onion - finely diced

  • Two celery stalks - finely diced

  • 500ml of chicken stock (one stock cube)

  • 2 tbsp Worcester sauce

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp breadcrumbs

  • Sprinkling of grated cheddar cheese

Method

Place the cauliflower in a pan and cover with boiling water. Boil until soft.


In a large pan, fry the onion, carrot, and celery in the olive oil until softened.


Add the mince, and cook on a high heat until browned.


Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the Worcester sauce and stock. Simmer for 5 minutes.


Take off the boil and stir in a cornstarch slurry made from the cornstarch and a little water. Once stirred into the mix, turn up the heat and allow the sauce to thicken.


Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.


Put the cauliflower into a food processor and blitz until smooth and creamy.


Spoon the mash over the mixture and fluff up with a fork. Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and the cheddar cheese and bake on a high heat until browned (15 minutes).

Freezing and storage

Freezes well.


To cook from frozen, let it thaw fully, then heat in the over for around 30 minutes on a medium heat.
