Colcannon Cottage Pie

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat. When hot, add the beef mince, season with salt and pepper and cook until browned, 4-5 mins. Break the mince up with a spoon as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. While the beef cooks, trim the carrot and quarter lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into small pieces. Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the spring onions then slice thinly. Grate the cheddar.

Once the mince is browned, add the onion and carrot and cook until softened, 4-5 mins. Next, stir in the garlic and cook for a further minute. Add the water (see ingredients for amount) and red wine jus paste. Bring to the boil and reduce the heat to simmer until you have a glossy thick sauce, 5 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

When cooked, drain the potatoes and kale in a colander. Return to the pan and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Stir through the spring onion and half of the cheddar and season to taste with salt and pepper. TIP: Add some milk and butter if you have any.

Transfer the beef mix to an ovenproof dish (we used a 20x20cm dish for 2). Top evenly with the colcannon and sprinkle over the remaining cheddar. Bake on the top shelf of your oven until the cheese has melted and starting to brown, 15-20 minutes.
