Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Wash or peel the potatoes and cut into rough pieces, then transfer to a pot or saucepan.
- Submerge with water and boil for 12 - 15 minutes until done, covered, then drain and set aside.
- Finely dice the carrot. Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic. Finely chop the leek.
- Melt half of the butter in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the carrot and leek for 2 - 3 minutes.
- Add the onion and garlic and fry for 2 more minutes, then add the mince and fry for 3 - 4 minutes, separating it as you do so.
- Prepare the stock in the meantime.
- Remove the thyme leaves from the sprigs and set aside some to use later as garnish.
- To the frying pan, add the bay leaf, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme and flour. Mix well to combine, then pour in the stock.
- Allow to cook gently for 8 - 10 minutes, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
- Mash the potatoes with the mustard, the rest of the butter and a splash of milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Discard the bay leaf, then transfer the sauce to an oven dish.
- Top with the mashed potato and the cheese, then bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden-brown.
- Serve the cottage pie on plates.
- Garnish with the reserved thyme to finish.
