This delicious cottage pie is loaded with vitamin-rich cauliflower and hearty beef to impress the whole family and keep them feeling fuller for longer. Oh and it's ridiculously easy to make!
To Make Dairy Free: Use the almond milk instead of dairy milk to make this recipe dairy free, other plant based milks will also work. Substitute tasty cheese for a vegan/dairy free cheese or nutritional yeast.
Heat oil in a saucepan on a medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook until fragrant. Add diced beef and cook until lightly browned. Add stock, carrots, tomato paste, basil, oregano, half the salt and half the pepper. Cook for a further five minutes. Add peas and spinach, cooking until spinach has wilted.
Meanwhile, boil potato and cauliflower in a saucepan until softened, approximately 10 minutes. Once cooked, drain and transfer to a bowl. Mash with milk, cheese and remaining salt and pepper.
Pour beef mixture into a baking dish and top with mashed mixture (option to sprinkle with additional cheese).
As a pescartarian I swapped the beef for fish I had steamed first and added at the last minute. Once veges were cooked I placed in oven dish, laid fish on top and then the mash – soooo delicious!
