Satisfying shepherd's pie
This hearty winter dish is great to make up at the weekend and eat during the week when you’re feeling tired from a long day.
Instructions
Step 1 Preheat oven to 190°C. Lightly spray a 20x20cm ovenproof dish with oil.
Step 2 Boil potatoes in water until tender. Drain well. Mash with spread and milk. Season with pepper.
Step 3 Cook mince in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, stirring, until browned. Drain any oil. Add onion and cook until softened. Stir in pesto and paste and mix well. Add mushrooms, capsicums and stock. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until mushrooms have softened.
Step 4 Spoon mixture into prepared dish. Spread potato evenly over top. Use a fork to create a swirled effect. Spray top lightly with oil. Bake for 35 minutes or until potato is lightly golden brown. Stand for 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with fresh herbs.
