Cooking Steps

1

Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel potato and cut into bite-sized chunks. Cook in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Add butter to potato and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.

2

While potato is cooking, finely chop brown onion (see ingredients) and carrot. Finely chop garlic. Trim green beans.

3

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook onion and carrot, stirring, until softened, 6-7 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, Italian herbs (see ingredients) and 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add beef mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned,
3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add
the water and the salt. Stir to combine. Season to taste. TIP: Add a dash of water if the mixture looks dry!

4

Preheat grill to medium-high. Transfer mince filling to a medium baking dish. Spread mashed potato over the top. Grill until potato is golden, 5-10 minutes. TIP: Grills cook fast, so keep an eye on the pie!

5

While the pie is grilling, wipe out frying pan and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add green beans and cook, tossing regularly, until tender, 3-4 minutes. Stir in remaining garlic, until fragrant, 1 minute. Season. TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process.
