METHOD
PHASE ONE - PREPARATION OF MINCE
- Sauté the lamb mince in a non-stick frying pan, until golden brown
- When the mince has browned, add all the prepared vegetables and herbs into the frying pan and combine thoroughly
- Add 1⁄2 a cup of water and reduce the heat to the low setting and simmer for 30 minutes
- After 30 minutes has lapsed, add the salt and oil into the pan. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mince to rest for 5 minutes
PHASE TWO - PREPARATION OF THE MASH TOPPING
- After step 3 above (while the mince and vegetables are cooking), place the diced sweet potatoes into a saucepan and cover with filtered water
- Bring the water to a boil and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are thoroughly cooked
- Strain the water from the saucepan and mash the potatoes while still in the saucepan using a potato masher. Ensure the sweet potatoes are roughly mashed
- Add the soymilk into the saucepan with the sweet potatoes and stir to combine thoroughly using a wooden spoon. While stirring the potatoes add the salt and oil and combine thoroughly
- Then remove the mash from the heat
PHASE THREE - ASSEMBLING THE COTTAGE PIE
- Scoop the mince into the small dishes until the dish is half full
- Top the mince with the mash topping, leaving 1cm from the top of the dish
- Drizzle some olive oil over the top
- Repeat these steps until all the mince and mash have been scooped into the dishes
- Place them in a pre-heated oven of 180oC for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
