Swede Potato Rösti Topped Shepherds Pie Recipes

SWEET POTATO-TOPPED SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray shallow 2-quart casserole with cooking spray. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef, onion, carrots and garlic over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and the thyme. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover; simmer 10 minutes.
• In small bowl, mix flour and water. Stir into beef mixture. Cook 2 minutes, stirring until thickened. Stir in spinach. In large saucepan, place potatoes and enough water to cover. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until tender; drain. In large bowl, beat potatoes, milk, butter and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth.
• Spoon beef mixture into casserole. Top with potato mixture. Bake uncovered 30 minutes or until potatoes begin to brown.

SWEDE & POTATO RöSTI-TOPPED SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Cook the swede and potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 10 mins until tender, then drain and set aside.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a low heat. Add the onion and carrots, and gently fry for 5 mins. Add the mushrooms, increase the heat to medium and cook for a further 5 mins. Tip the vegetables into a bowl.
• Add the mince to the frying pan and cook until browned. Pour away any excess fat. Add the vegetables (not the swede and potatoes), tomatoes and tomato purée, cover and simmer for 15 mins, topping up with a little water if the mince looks a bit dry.
• When the swede and potatoes are cool enough to handle, coarsely grate; then toss in the melted butter and season.
• Tip the mince mixture into a deep ovenproof dish, top with the grated swede and potatoes, then put in the oven and cook for 40 mins.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, then fry the onions for 6 mins until starting to turn golden. Add the garlic, carrots and thyme, and cook for 4 mins more. Stir in the mince, breaking it up with the spoon. When it has turned brown, add the lentils and swede with the flour. Cook for 1-2 mins, then gradually add the stock and red wine. Cover and simmer for 35-40 mins.
• Meanwhile, boil all the potatoes for 15-20 mins until tender, then drain and mash with the yogurt, nutmeg and black pepper. Spoon the meat mixture into a 2-litre ovenproof dish, spread or pipe the potato mixture on top, then grill until the topping starts to brown. (If making ahead, reheat in the oven at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 45 mins.) Serve with green veg, such as peas and broccoli.
