MAKE THE MASH
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Remove from the pan. Place the potato pieces into a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add ½ of the cooked garlic, a knob of vegan butter (optional), and a splash of water or vegan milk. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
GOLDEN CRUMBS
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the breadcrumbs and toast until golden, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan.
FOR THE FILLING
While the potatoes are cooking, return the pan, wiped down, to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced carrot and diced onion until lightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add in the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Allow to cook until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the NOMU rub and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
SAUCE
Add the cooked chopped tomato, the remaining cooked garlic, and 100ml of water to the pan. Simmer until reduced and thickening, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add seasoning, and a sweetener (to taste).
COTTAGE PIE
Spoon the loaded mince into an ovenproof dish. Evenly spread the potato mash over the top. Scrape some patterns on the mash with a fork if you’re feeling fancy! Bake in the oven until starting to brown, 8-10 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, turn the oven onto the grill setting for some golden colour.
DINNER IS READY
Plate up the cottage pie, top with a sprinkle of the golden breadcrumbs, and garnish with the chopped parsley. Enjoy, Chef!
