Vegetable Loaded Irish Cottage Pie seasoned with fresh herbs topped with a special fresh mashed potato topping! An easy healthy baby led weaning recipe.

Ingredients


Method

  • Heat the rapeseed oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onions until they start to turn translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, then add the minced beef and cook until it has started to brown.
  • Add the carrots, peppers, courgettes and mushrooms to the pan along with the tomato purée, tinned tomatoes, mustard and vinegar. Give everything a good stir, cover the saucepan with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes until the carrots are soft enough to squash between your thumb and forefinger.
  • Add in the chopped spinach and kales along wit the thyme then season with pepper.
  • Take the lid off the saucepan and continue to simmer for a further 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
  • While the meat sauce is cooking, place the potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook for about 20 minutes, until they are soft through, then drain.
  • Add the butter and pepper then mash until smooth.
  • Place the meat mixture into a pie dish then top with the mashed potato. If freezing you can do so now. Otherwise, pre-heat your oven to 180ºC and cook for 30 minutes until golden brown and warmed the entire way through.
  • Serve warm.
