Microwavable Cottage Pie
Serves 1
Ingredients: 2 potatoes, about 175 G or 6 oz each 1 small onion, skinned and
finely chopped 1 small carrot, peeled and grated 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil
175 G or 6 oz lean minced beef 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce 45 ml or 3
tablespoons beef stock 1 teaspoon tomato puree salt and pepper 15 ml or 1
tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 15 G or half oz of butter or margarine 40 G or
1 and a half oz Cheddar cheese, grated
METHOD:
Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and place on absorbent paper.
Microwave on "high" for 8 to 10 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked,
turning them once during cooking. Set aside.
Put the onion, carrot and the oil in an individual flameproof serving dish,
cover with cling film, pulling back one corner to let the steam escape, and
microwave on "high" for 3 to 4 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the beef and microwave on "high" for 2 minutes or until the meat
changes colour, stirring occasionally to break up the mince.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, stock, tomato puree,salt and pepper.
Microwave on "high" for 5 to 7 minutes or until the meat is tender, stirring
occasionally.
Meanwhile, halve the potatoes and scoop out the flesh. Put the flesh into a
bowl and mash with the parsley, butter, half of the cheese, salt and pepper.
When the meat is cooked, spoon the mashed potato on top and rough the surface
with a fork. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Microwave on "high" for 2 minutes or until the potato is hot and the cheese
melted.
Brown under a preheated grill if desired.
