Preheat the onion to 400F/ 200C (Gas Mark 6).
Chop the potatoes and boil them. Add to a bowl with 2oz/ 55g of butter and enough milk to give a good consistency. Add salt and pepper if desired. Put this to one side.
Melt the remaining butter in a frying pan (or use vegetable oil) and saute the onion and carrot until soft. Add the mince, soy sauce and vegetable stock.
Cook until thickened. I also like to add salt and a lot of ground pepper.
If you have trouble with the mixture thickening I like to add a few vegetable gravy granules.
Pour the mixture in an oven ready baking dish and cover with the mashed potatoes.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes until the tops of the potatoes are golden brown.
Yes - I've tried Real Eat and that's very nice. I'm not so keen on Sainsbury's and Tesco's own-brand soya mince though. I find they work better in this dish if you mix half and half with lentils!
Have you tried Quorn alternatives?
