Chilli Beef Shepherd's Pie
Ingredients
2 tsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 tsp cumin seeds
500g pack lean minced beef
2 garlic cloves, crushed
420g can kidney beans in chilli sauce
400g can chopped tomatoes
1kg potatoes, peeled and chopped into chunks
1 small tub sour cream
Method
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then soften the onion with 1 tsp cumin for a few mins. Push the onion to the edge of the pan, add the beef, then brown well, breaking up the lumps as you go. Add the garlic, kidney beans, chopped tomatoes and half a can of water, season and cover, then simmer for 20 mins.
Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender, drain well, then mash with the sour cream, some freshly milled black pepper and a little salt. Heat the grill to high. Tip the chilli mince into a large ovenproof dish, spoon over the mash, scatter with the remaining cumin seeds, then grill for 5 mins until golden.
