Cheesy Spiced Chorizo and Beef Cottage Pie

with Peas and Baby Leaf Salad

A British favourite, cottage pie is most recognisable as a deeply savoury layer of meat filling topped with mash. Here, we're using Mexican inspired spices, chorizo and topping with cheesy mash as a twist. Best enjoyed after baking until golden and scrumptious!

Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Bring a large saucepan of water with 1/2 tsp salt to the boil for the potatoes. 

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer).

When boiling, add the potatoes to the water and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins. 

Fry the Chorizo and Beef
2

Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

Once hot, add the chorizo and beef mince. Fry until the mince has browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat.

Add the garlic and Mexican style spice mix and fry for 30 secs. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Simmer the Sauce
3

Next, add the passata, beef stock paste, sugar, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for all three amounts).

Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 5-6 mins.

Meanwhile, preheat your grill to high. Grate the cheese.

Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the peas and cook for a further 2-3 mins. Remove from the heat. TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it. 

Mash the Potatoes
4

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat.

Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble and Grill
5

Transfer the pie filling to an appropriately sized ovenproof dish. 

Top with an even layer of mash and sprinkle over the cheese. Grill until the cheese is bubbling and golden, 5-6 mins.

Serve
6

Share the cottage pie between your plates. 

Serve the baby leaf mix on the side, drizzling some olive oil over the leaves to finish. 

Enjoy!
