Preparation instructions

Temp: Temperature:

# For the meat mix
In a large pan over medium-high heat, brown the mince meat, about 5 minutes. If you cannot get ground lamb, you can use ground beef to make cottage pie.
Add the diced celery, onions, carrots and seasoning. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the beef broth and the tomato paste. Stir until the paste has dissolved completely.
Reduce the heat to medium and let simmer until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.

# For the cauliflower topping
While the meat mix is simmering, prepare the cauliflower mash.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are soft. For example, steam it in some salted water for 10 minutes or microwave it with a tablespoon of water.
Spread the cauliflower let them cool for about 5 minutes or until they stop steaming. Else the cauliflower is too wet and the mash will be watery.
Blend the cauliflower with an immersion blender or in a food processor.
Add the grated cheese, cream cheese, butter, garlic, salt and pepper.
Blend until you get a smooth mash.

# To assemble
Transfer the meat mix to an oven-safe dish. For 6 portions you can use an 8 in by 8 in or 2 quart baking dish or casserole. We used a 16 cm by 26 cm glass dish.
Top with the cauliflower mash.
Optionally sprinkle with more shredded cheddar and smoked paprika.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until the cauliflower mash starts to brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool for about 5 minutes and serve.

# Meal Prep Tip
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
