Shepherds Pie

1 lb mince either chicken, lamb or beef (washed and drained)
2 large onions chopped small
1 tin tomato chopped
2 tsp garlic crushed
6 large peeled potato's
1/4 tsp turmeric
2 tsp chilli powder (can reduce to 1 if too hot for kid's)
A handful of carrot's and pea's
3 tbsp oil

First boil the potato's, try to over boil them as this will make it easy to mash and I find chopping them first and then boiling is quicker and easier. While the potato's are boiling in another pan fry onion's in the oil until golden brown then add tomato and all spices and cook until all tomato lumps have dissolved then add mince and cook until water has disappeared, add veg and cook for a further few min. (if using fresh veg then cook a little longer) Once potato's are boiled drain for a few min, using a fork mash all the potato's add salt to taste and generous amounts of butter and mix well until smooth. layer your mince into a oven dish then the mash and again a few nobs of butter and finely sprinkle with parsley and bake for 30 min and then just brown under the grill. serve with salad.
