STEAMY SWEET POTATO
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a medium-high heat with 2cm of boiling water covering the base. Place the sweet potato chunks in a colander over the pot and steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and soft. Alternatively, use a steamer if you have one.
MAKE THE FILLING
Dilute the stock with 40ml of boiling water. Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add in the mince and work quickly to break it up. Allow to caramelise for 4-5 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Add the grated garlic and Italian Rub and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the grated carrot and fry for 1-2 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Stir in the tomato paste, cooked chopped tomatoes, and diluted stock. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until reduced and thickened. Stir in seasoning and a sweetener of choice to taste.
MASH IT UP!
Mash the steamed sweet potato with a knob of butter (optional) and half of the grated mozzarella cheese. Season to taste.
GOLDEN GOODNESS
Time to assemble the cottage pie! Spoon the mince into an ovenproof dish and evenly spread the sweet potato mash over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella. Bake in the oven for 7-8 minutes until the topping is golden, keeping a close eye on it.
TOSS THE SALAD
Just before serving, toss the rinsed green leaves through a drizzle of olive oil.
