Veg shepherd's pie

We made this for Christmas dinner last month, so delicious and healthy too.

Ingredients:
100g vegetarian mince (or soya pieces)
1 cup of peas
3 or 4 carrots
1 cup of vegetarian gravy
3 medium-sized potatoes
A few handfuls of grated cheese
A spoonful of butter
A few spoonfuls of cream or milk

Preparation:

1) Chop the carrots into small chunky pieces, and boil them in water until fully cooked. If you're using raw peas, boil them until fully cooked too.

2) Boil the potatoes until fully cooked. Peel them and mash them in a bowl, adding the butter and milk/cream as you're mashing to make it nice and creamy.

3) Prepare the vegetarian gravy. If you're using granules like we were, just take a cup of hot water and mix in a few spoonfuls of the granules at a time until the consistency is right.

4) Get a large deep dish that you'll be using to put the pie in the oven. Toss in the peas, carrots, veg mince and gravy into the dish and mix well together.

5) Using a spoon, add a thick layer of the mashed potatoes on top of that.

6) Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the potatoes.

7) Put on a low rack in the oven on 200c for about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it and you'll know when to take it out when the potatoes and cheese on top are going bubbly and brown.

8) Leave to cool for a few minutes after taking out of the oven and it's ready to serve.
