• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add the plant-based butter and plant-based milk to potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm. TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.
• Meanwhile, preheat grill to high. Finely chop brown onion and garlic. Grate carrot. Thinly slice baby capsicum. Drain sweetcorn. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook plant-based mince, onion, carrot and corn, stirring, until browned and softened, 4-5 minutes. • SPICY! The spice blend is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat. Add garlic, tomato paste and Mexican Fiesta spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and vegetable stock powder. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. TIP: Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded.
• Transfer mince filling to a medium baking dish and spread potato mash over the top with a drizzle of olive oil. • Grill until lightly golden, 8-10 minutes. TIP: Drizzling with olive oil helps the topping to crisp and brown!
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine capsicum, mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season. • Divide plant-based Mexican shepherd's pie between plates. • Top with pickled jalapeños (if using). • Serve with salad. Enjoy!
