List of ingredients  for this recipe:

• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 1 brown onion, finely chopped
• 500g Lamb Mince
• 1 1/2 tbs tomato paste
• 1/4 cup (35g) gravy powder
• 1 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 1/2 cups (210g) frozen diced vegetables
• 2 x 350g Potato Mash

Preparation Steps

01Preheat the grill to high heat. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until the onion softens.  Add the minced meat and cook for 5 minutes, or until the mince changes colour, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up lumps. Stir in the tomato paste until everything is well combined.

02Over the mince mixture, sprinkle gravy powder. 1 cup (250ml) water and Worcestershire sauce to blend, stir everything together. Bring to a low boil, then reduce to low heat. Toss in the veggies. Cook for 5 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.

03Meanwhile, prepare the mashed potatoes according to the store-bought package recommendations or use your own mash potatoes recipe. To loosen the mashed potatoes, stir them with a fork.

04Transfer the mince mixture to a 6-cup (1.5L) baking dish with a 5cm depth. Pour the mashed potatoes on top. Cook for 4-5 minutes under the grill, or until its golden brown on the top. Serve with mixed salad greens and flat-leaf parsley leaves.
