Phil Vickery's lighter shepherd's pie



Preparation time: 20 minutes


Cooking time: 30 minutes


Serves: 4-6


Ingredients


2 tbsp oil


4 small onions, finely chopped


200g minced lamb less than 5% fat


2 x 400 canned or tetra pack cooked green lentils, well drained


200g chestnut mushrooms, very finely chopped (I use a magimix)


2-3 tbsp plain flour


2 tbsp tomato puree


Pinch dried thyme


2 tbsp Bovril or Marmite


300mls water


1 x 10g vegetable stock cube (low salt)


Pepper


200g potatoes


500g sweet potatoes


1 small cauliflower, chopped into small chunks


150mls skimmed milk approx


50g butter or olive oil


Pepper


Method


Heat the oil and add the mushrooms cook for 15 minutes to reduce the moisture


Then add the onions, mince and lentils and break up well


Cook until all the moisture has evaporated


Add the flour and mix well then continue to cook until the flour browns well on the bottom of the pan


Next add the tomato puree, thyme, Marmite or Bovril, stock cube and enough water to just cover the meat


Season well with pepper (check the salt) and cook for 20-25 minutes gently or the flour will catch stirring occasionally


The mix should be fairly thick, then pour or spoon into a baking dish and leave to cool


Boil both the potatoes together, once cooked add the cauliflower and cook for a further 10 minutes, then drain well


Mash really well all together


Whisk the hot milk, butter or oil into the mash and season well salt and pepper


The mash should not be too creamy, but soft


Spoon onto the cooled, set mince and fluff up with a fork


When ready, re heat in a moderate oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and slightly crunchy
