  1. 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 and carrot chunks in a colander over the pot. Leave to steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and soft. Alternatively, use a steamer if you have one. Dilute the stock with 40ml of boiling water.

  2. MAKE THE FILLING

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chopped celery, diced carrot and diced onion for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add in the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Allow to caramelise for 4-5 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the cottage pie pizazz, cooked chopped tomato, and diluted stock. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally. During the last minute, mix through the peas and ½ the chopped mint until heated through.

  3. WHILE THE SAUCE IS SIMMERING…

    Once the sweet potato and carrot have finished steaming, discard the water and return to the pot. Add in a splash of water or milk (optional), the grated cheese, and a knob of butter or coconut oil (optional). Mash with a fork (or potato masher) until smooth and combined. Season to taste and set aside.

  4. ASSEMBLE THE GOODNESS

    When the mince mixture has reduced, season and add a sweetener of choice to taste. Remove from the heat and spoon into an ovenproof dish. Evenly spread the sweet potato mash over the top. Scrape some patterns on the mash with a fork if you’re feeling fancy! Bake in the hot oven for 7-8 minutes until the mash is starting to brown – keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn! Remove from the oven on completion.

  5. COMFORTING NOURISHMENT

    Plate up a generous helping of cosy cottage pie and sprinkle over the remaining chopped mint. Go on, Chef... Indulge!
