Wayne's Cottage Pie

This is my take on this classic dish, just the right thing when life is getting on top of you.

Dice 1 onion, finely slice 2 garlic cloves, slice one red chilli and finely dice i red capsicum. Saute in olive oil until onion is translucent then add 500gms of lean mince cook until brown.

Once meat is browned add 1 400gm tin of diced tomatoes
1 small bottle of beer, stout is best if you have it
4 tbsp worcestershire sauce
Simmer until it reduces by about 50%

Then add 300 gms of chicken stock
Simmer until it forms a thick and rich sauce.

Place in a pie dish and top with mashed potato sprinkle the potato with grated cheese and brown in an oven at 180c until golden.

Mash:

For the mash I boil brushed potatoes, and use a ricer to make the mash means they don't need to be peeled the ricer does it for you. I then add butter, 1 egg yolk and grated parmesan. For a healthier choice you simply add no fat greek style yogurt.
