IngrediEnts

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion (diced)
1 carrot ( diced)
2 celery ( chopped) ( i used about a cup of mix vegies)
500g of mince lamb ( i used beef)
2 tbsp of flour
2 cups of beef stock ( i used chicken stock)
1 dried bay leaf ( i omit this)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce ( i dont know how to pronounce this word =D)
1 tbsp tomato paste ( i used tomato sauce)
salt and pepper to taste
chilly powder ( iadded this to the original recipe)

Method


1. Heat the olive oil and add in the chopped onions.
2. Once the onions turn translucent, add in the carrot and celery or whatever u got ( i used mix vegies) and fry them for a few minutes.
3. Then, add in the minced lamb ( or beef or u can even try to use mince chicken) and cook them till they turn brown.
4. Add in the flour. This will help to thicken the sauce later.
5. Pour in the stock followed by the bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste.
6. Cook the lamb (or meat) mixture till thickens.i like to keep mind a little bit watery.
7. Season with salt, peper and chilli powder ( if u like it hot like me!!).
8. Pour into your baking dish.

Mashed Potatoes


Ingredients


800g potatoes (diced)
40g butter ( i used margerine)
1/2 cup warm milk
salt and pepper
Shredded mozarella Cheese

Method

1. Bring the potatoes to boil.
2. Mash them while they are still hot.
3. Pour in the milk bit by bit.
4. Add in the butter. The heat from the hot mashed potatoes will help the butter to melt in the potatoes.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture in the baking dish.
7. Baked in the oven for about 30 min at 175C.
8. Sprinkle shredded mozarella cheese on top of the mashed potatoes.
9. Grill for bout 5min more just to let the cheeses melt.
10. Seve. Walla!!
