- Add more Black pepper and the 3 beef stock cubes and boiling water add the peas and 2 tbls Balsamic vinegar. Mix bring to boil and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add the diced small carrots.
- When the potatoes are cooked strain them then mash add butter and milk and they should be nice and creamy. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven on 180°C. Thicken the meat with cornflour in a little water. It does need to be thick so the mashed potatoe sits on top.
- Add the meat mix to a large ovenproof dish greased which is about 3 inch depth. Leave the meat to cool right down in the ovendish. My dish size is about 8 x 6 inch. If its too much just half the ingredients.
- Potatoes all creamy and cooling down. Just spoon the potatoes in the 4 corners of the meat dish then opposite sides then fill it all in by gently pulling the mash over the lot. Then when its done using a fork run it along the length lifting bits up so they go nice and crisp on top. Also add a little salt.
- Oben bake for 20 minutes
