Tasty Cottage Pie  (serves 3-4)
Submitted by South African Foodies

Ingredients:

6 Medium Potatoes - Peeled (and milk and butter for mash)
500g lean mince
1 onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
125g brown mushrooms, sliced
1 beef stock cube
1/4 cup water

10ml sunflower oil for frying
1TBS garlic and lemon mix
50g tomato paste
2ml Thyme
2ml Oregano
2ml Rosemary
1tsp salt
1/2 cup grated cheese to sprinkle on top of mash



Method:
Peel the potatoes, slice in half and boil until soft.

Fry the onion in the cooking oil until soft. Add the mince, garlic & lemon mix, stock cube and water to the onions. Once the mince is sealed and has a nice brown colour to it, add the mushrooms, tomato paste, salt, rosemary, thyme and oregano - Mix together well. Allow to simmer for 5-10mins. Once everything is cooked, add the mixture to a round casserole dish.

Mash the potatoes, add some milk and butter to create a soft even consistency (it should not be runny).

Now spread the mash potato evenly over the mince mixture and then sprinkle with cheese (this is optional but tastes delicious!)

Place the dish under the grill for a few minutes and allow cheese to melt and turn golden brown and slightly crispy...Yummy!
