MASH
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil a full kettle. Place the Carrot and potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 25-30 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
REHYDRATE
In a bowl, combine the falafel mix, a pinch of salt, and 100ml of boiling water. Mix, but not for longer than 30 seconds. Cover and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
ASSEMBLE THE GOODNESS
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chopped celery, diced Carrot and diced onion until soft, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add in the rehydrated falafel mixture and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Allow to fry until crisping up, 4-5 minutes shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the cottage pie pizazz, the cooked chopped tomato and 200ml of water (adding more if necessary). Simmer until reduced and thickened, 10-12 minutes (stirring occasionally). During the last minute, mix through the peas, seasoning, a sweetener, and 1⁄2 the chopped Parsley.
FINISH UP
When the mince mixture has reduced, spoon into an ovenproof dish. Evenly spread the veg mash over the top. Bake in the oven until the mash is starting to brown, 7-8 minutes – keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn!
