1 onion
2 carrots
1 tablespoon tomato purée
½ reduced-salt stock cube
600 g potatoes
3 tablespoons milk
1 small cabbage

Plus oil, salt, pepper and water.

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Peel the potatoes, cut them into chunks and boil for 15 minutes. Drain and mash with the milk and a pinch of salt.
Meanwhile fry the chopped onion and diced carrots in 1 tablespoon of oil for 5 minutes. Add the mince and brown it for 5 minutes. Pour off any excess fat.
Stir in the tomato purée and the stock cube dissolved in 1 mug of hot water. Simmer for 15 minutes, until thick.
Tip the filling into an oven dish, spread the mash on top and rough it up with a fork. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden.
Shred the cabbage and boil it for 4 minutes. Serve half the pie with half the cabbage. Cool the rest and put it in the fridge.

Remember this: Thick filling, rough top, 20 minutes at 200°C.
