  • \n1 cup frozen green beans (food processor)<\/li>\n

  • \n3 -4 sprigs fresh thyme, finely chopped<\/li>\n

  • \n2 tablespoons flour<\/li>\n

  • \n1 tablespoon butter<\/li>\n

  • \n1 glass red wine<\/li>\n

  • \n2 tablespoons tomato paste<\/li>\n

  • \n2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n

  • \n1 cup chicken stock<\/li>\n

  • \n1 large quantity mashed potatoes (estimating 1L or 6 cups, fresh or leftover)<\/li>\n

  • \n1 egg, beaten
    \ngrated parmesan cheese (optional)<\/li>\n

    recipe<\/h1>\n

    Pre-heat oven to 200C\/400\u00b0F.
    \nSaute carrots in the olive oil until starting to get tender.
    \nAdd in the onions and saute for a minute or two then add the meat.
    \nSeason with black pepper and thyme.
    \nCook until browned then drain fat.
    \nAdd the butter and peas.
    \nSprinkle with flour and stir through.
    \nAdd tomato paste, wine and Worcestershire sauce.
    \nLet this reduce slightly then add the chicken stock. Allow to reduce down until you have a thick meaty gravy. Season to your taste.
    \nRemove from heat. Grease an oven proof dish** (9×13 works for me, as does an oval baker) with butter and add the sauce.
    \nSpoon or pipe the mashed potatoes over top. Brush with egg and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using.
    \nBake for about 20 minutes or until the potato is nice and browned on top.
    \nServe as is or with some crusty bread to mop up that yummy sauce!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
