Cooking Steps
• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add the butter and milk to potato and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.
• While potato is cooking, preheat grill to high. • Trim green beans. Finely chop garlic. Drain and rinse cannellini beans. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook veggie mince with soffritto mix, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add cannellini beans, garlic & herb seasoning and half the garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in light cooking cream, vegetable stock pot and the water and simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in baby spinach leaves until just wilted. Season to taste.
• Transfer bean filling to a medium baking dish and spread mashed potato over the top. • Sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese. Grill until golden, 5-10 minutes.
• While pie is grilling, wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook green beans, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season.
• Divide creamy Italian plant-based mince, butter bean pie and garlicky greens between plates. • Sprinkle over flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!
